[Thrombolytic therapy in arteriosclerotic disease (authors transl)].

The treatment of acute arterial occulsion, especially emboli and also thromboses associated with a complete ischaemia is the domain of the surgeon. Subacute or chronic arterial occlusion -- uni- or myltilocular --are suited for a trial of thrombolytic therapy, with an approximate success rate of 40%. When thrombolysis is contraindicated, then transluminal dilatation according to Dotter can be attempted in cases of short stenosis. A new and successful indication for thrombolysis is in the therapy of cases of late reocclusion after vascular reconstructive operations. The preliminary results in this field are very good, especially in the aortoiliac region. The indications, the practical details, the results and complications of thrombolytic therapy with streptokinase are discussed.

[Accessory hepatic arteries and their nomenclatoric problems in radiology (author's transl)].

The numerous anatomical and radiological nomenclatures of hepatic arteries are compared and discussed. Our own material for the assessment of accessory hepatic arteries consisted of 220 anatomically prepared individuals and 74 angiograms. The individual branches in the normal case as well as all variations and their frequency are discussed. The present, often confusing nomenclature is critically reviewed and an attempt is made to establish a simple and clinically acceptable nomenclature. We propose to name the additional branches supplying the liver as 'arteria hepatica accessoria' with reference to the vessel from which they originate. Additional branches in the terminal branching (ramus accessorius) and vessels of the liver capsula should not be referred to as accessory hepatic arteries.

[Rare case of an adult teratoma of the stomach (author's transl)].

The teratoma is a dysgenetic tumor consisting of tridermal differentiation products. The most common classification is made according to maturity - benign adult teratoma and malign nonmature embryonal teratoma. In the case demonstrated, a 15-year-old male suffers from tiredness, paleness and pains in the epigastrium. The radiological examination showed a tumor in the size of a fist with a number of teeth located partly within the stomach. The histological findings after operation confirmed the diagnosis of a coetaneous (= adult) gastric teratoma. The discussion shows that all cases of gastric teratoma published until 1972 are male, in 77% under the age of 1 year, in 13% under the age of 10, and only in 10% over the age of 10 years.
