left hepatic artery, complicated with serious hemoperitoneum caused by the rupture of the aneurysm. I t could be the second case ever to be reported in which the ethiology was acystic degeneration of the medial coat in an artery other than the aorta. The first case reported was also of the hepatic artery in a curious coincidence. The hystology of the area tributary to the thrombosed artery is shown, and proved to be normal. The paper is divided into the following chapters: pathology, clinical study,  diagnosis, treatment. The conditions under which the hepatic artery may be resected or ligated are established. The frequency and the diagnostic difficulties arising from the intrahepatic location of the aneurysm are studied andalso the tactic in front of a hemoperitoneum of non diagnosed cause. 

A case of calcified aneurym of the hepatic artery is discussed which from the cholecystographical point of view showed as a calculus lodged in the cystic canal. It was solved surgically by performing an endarterectomy and reconstruction of the arterial wall. Excellent postoperatory recovery of the (female) patient.

A case of aneurysm of the upper mesenteric artery in a young (male) patient having the Marfán-syndrome is presented. The case was successfully treated by ligating the afferent and efferent arterial branches and placing of an autogenous graft for re-establishing circulation

Nodular Hyperplasia is an infrequent benign liver tumor, which generally affects young women. It is asymptomatic, so its presentation is usually an imaging finding. Its management is expectant in most cases.  The objective of this article is to present a clinical case whose presentation and resolution were atypical.

Two cases of complicated popliteal arterial aneurysms are presented. The first corresponds to a 80 years old man in severe congestive heart failure, showing a left popliteal aneurysms with good collateral arterial circulation to the distal portion of the limb.

The typical or modal arrangement of the bile duct occurs in approximately 60% of the population. Anatomical variants are usually observed at the intrahepatic level, with a frequency of up to 30%.

Surgeon biography of Alfonso Lamas

A case of a clean cut wound in the superficial vessels of the femur is presented, in which suture of the artery to the veins was performed with good anatomical and functional results

Years ago, a colostomy was an almost obligatory operation in most colon and rectal conditions, either as a single bypass operation or as part of a staged surgical treatment. Progress in colon surgery forces reconsideration of these indications.
