ileocolic

This woman aged 30 years presented in 1990 with an ileocolic intussusception which required a limited right hemicolectomy.

Four patients had only ileal involvement and 16 had ileocolic or colonic disease.

The appendicular artery, a branch of the ileocolic artery.

The ileocolic anastomosis required a stricturoplasty without remission.

The venous effluent was collected from the cannulated ileocolic vein with a fraction collector.

The appendicular vein drains into the ileocolic vein.

The ileocolic vein is a vein which drains the ileum, colon, and cecum.

Eleven patients had ileocolic disease and 11 had disease confined to the colon or anorectal region, or both.

The ileocolic artery is the lowest branch arising from the concavity of the superior mesenteric artery.

Crohn's disease was ileocolic in 10 cases, involved only the small bowel in nine patients, and 13 patients had colonic disease.

Toward the ileocolic junction, secondary and tertiary loops are observed, the vessels are smaller and become obscured by numerous fat-tabs.

The inferior branch of the ileocolic runs toward the upper border of the ileocolic junction and supplies the following branches:

The anterior caecal branch of the ileocolic artery; this lies in the more anterior of the two peritoneal folds connecting the ileum to the caecum.

At the colon it divides into a descending branch, which anastomoses with the ileocolic, and an ascending branch, which anastomoses with the middle colic.

A 10 cm length of terminal ileum based on the ileocolic artery was isolated and peripheral vascular branches were ligated and divided to avoid loss of perfusate.

The anterior cecal artery (or anterior caecal artery) is a branch of the ileocolic artery which supplies the anterior region of the cecum.

Through a midline laparotomy, the ileocolic artery and vein were cannulated using standard intravenous catheters (20G Cathlon, Critikon, Tampa, Fl, USA).

'Ileocolic Crohn's disease', which affects both the ileum (the last part of the small intestine that connects to the large intestine) and the large intestine, accounts for fifty percent of cases.

The contractile effect of EGF-URO in ileocolic preparations displayed marked tachyphylaxis at high EGF-URO concentrations (100 ng/mL).

The appendicular artery (appendiceal artery) is a terminal branch of the ileocolic artery that descends behind the termination of the ileum and enters the mesoappendix of the vermiform appendix.

The ileocolic artery of the superior mesenteric artery branches off into the ascending colic artery, the anterior and posterior cecal arteries, the appendicular artery, and the ileal branches.

Reduction of the area is usually ineffective due to swelling, so jejunojejunal intussusceptions are resected and ileocolic intussusceptions are resected as far distally as possible and a jejunocecal anatomosis is performed.

They suggested that GI bleeding could be caused by thinning of the wall of the cecum due to abnormal pulse waves in the ileocolic artery (an artery that supplies blood to the cecum) causing dilation of that artery.

The actions of EGF-URO were abolished by indomethacin (3 μM) and were, in part, mimicked by prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), which contracted the ileocolic preparation and potentiated the action of KCl in the superior mesenteric preparation.
