Annuloaortic ectasia; Other names: Cystic medial necrosis of aorta [1] Segments of the aorta, including the thoracic aorta, ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending thoracic aorta, abdominal aorta, suprarenal abdominal aorta, and infrarenal abdominal aorta. Specialty: Cardiology
The superior suprarenal artery is a branch of the inferior phrenic artery. [1] There may be multiple branches, each of which is fairly small. [1] The inferior phrenic artery is itself is a branch of the aorta. [1] The phrenic artery supplies the diaphragm.
Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, died from an abdominal aortic aneurysm in 2008, at the age of 69. Harvey Korman died on May 29, 2008, aged 81, at UCLA Medical Center as the result of complications from a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm he had suffered four months earlier. He is interred at Santa Monica's Woodlawn Cemetery.
Ectasia (/ ɛ k ˈ t eɪ ʒ ə /), also called ectasis (/ ˈ ɛ k t ə s ɪ s /), is dilation or distention of a tubular structure, [1] either normal or pathophysiologic but usually the latter (except in atelectasis, where absence of ectasis is the problem).
The abdominal aorta's venous counterpart, the inferior vena cava (IVC), travels parallel to it on its right side. Above the level of the umbilicus, the aorta is somewhat posterior to the IVC, sending the right renal artery travelling behind it. The IVC likewise sends its opposite side counterpart, the left renal vein, crossing in front of the ...
The inferior phrenic artery is a bilaterally paired artery of the abdominal cavity which represents the main source of arterial supply to the diaphragm. Each artery usually arises either from the coeliac trunk or the abdominal aorta, however, their origin is highly variable and the different sites of origin are different for the left artery and right artery.
The middle suprarenal artery (usually) arises from lateral aspect of the abdominal aorta. Its origin occurs at roughly the same level as that of the superior mesenteric artery . [ 1 ] : 1240
Variations in the interior suprarenal artery are common. [1] [3] It usually originates from the renal artery before its final divisions, but may also originate as a final division or after the final divisions. [1] More rarely, it may originate directly from the aorta. [1] It may give off a small branch to the kidney. [1]
