Concurrent Hepatic Artery and Portal Vein Thrombosis after Orthotopic Liver Transplantation with Preserved Allografts by Arshad Khan, P. Park, Jose Oberholzer, Ivo Tzvetanov, Raquel Garcia Roca, Ron C. Gaba, Enrico Benedetti, Hoonbae Jeon

“…In fact, hepatopetal arterial and portal venous neovascularization are known albeit obscure phenomena that can preserve posttransplant hepatic function under the extenuating circumstances of complete interruption of blood flow to the graft. We describe two such cases that developed combined HAT and PVT more than six months after OLT with perfect preservation of graft function. …”

Chimeric Osteocutaneous Free Flap Solution to Variation in Vascular Anatomy by Augustine J. Deering, III, BS, Payden A. Harrah, BS, Brian Wong Won, MD, John Michael Austin, BS, Mustafa T. Khan, DO, Jay K. Ferrell, MD, C. Anton Fries, MD, PhD

“…The peroneal vessels were anastomosed to the left superior thyroid artery and a branch of the internal jugular vein, with confirmation of adequate blood flow via implantable Doppler signal. Septocutaneous perforators from the peroneal artery are absent in 5%–10% of the population; thus, an approach to anomalous vasculature in the setting of fibula free flap harvest that decreases morbidity and multiple operations is valuable.…”
