The gastrointestinal system is mainly supplied by celiac trunk (CelT), superior mesenteric artery (SMA), and inferior mesenteric artery [1]. The celiac trunk is a large arterial vessel of the upper abdomen which arises below the aortic hiatus at the level of T12th the vertebral body. It is divided into three main branches: common hepatic, splenic and left gastric arteries [2]. The SMA arises fr...

A numerical anomaly of the celiac trunk and anatomical variation in origin, and course of the dorsal pancreatic artery were encountered during a routine upper abdomen dissection of a 62-year-old male cadaver. The aim of this study was to describe a rare celiac trunk and dorsal pancreatic artery variation in detail, which can be a guide and precaution during operative procedures in this region. ...

Introduction: The celiac trunk is an arterial that has been the subject of numerous anatomical and radiological studies. From its origin, at front abdominal aorta, extends for 1.5 - 2 cm then divides into three branches: left gastric artery, common hepatic artery splenic artery. This type trifurcation was first described by Haller, in 1756, considered most pattern. Anatomical variations are num...

BACKGROUND Arterial dissection is defined as the cleavage of the arterial wall by an intramural hematoma. Reports of dissection of the celiac and/or superior mesenteric artery are rare; as far as we know, only 24 cases of spontaneous isolated celiac trunk dissection, and 71 cases of spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection have been reported. CASE REPORT The case presents a ...

This case highlights an open retroperitoneal approach to explant embolized left atrial appendage occlusion device in the visceral aorta. Endovascular retrieval of was deemed be inferior alternative given significant mural thrombus that extended toward superior mesenteric artery and celiac from device, as demonstrated on computed tomography angiogram, associated risk embolizing vessels or lower ...

Celiac artery aneurysm is a rare visceral aneurysm, comparising only 4 % of them. In this article, an innovative surgical method is presented for the treatment o f such aneurysms. A 53 year old female referred to our center with epigastric pain and a mass in the region, which was diagnosed as a case of celiac artery aneurysm by using different imaging techniques. During the operation, acco...

Origins and distribution of the human inferior phrenic arteries were studied by dissecting 68 Japanese adult cadavers. The inferior phrenic arteries were usually observed as paired (left and right) vessels. Their origins were summarized as follows: a) the aorta itself (85/138 cases, 61.6%), b) the ventro-visceral arteries (celiaco-mesenteric system of the aorta) including the celiac trunk (39/1...

The knowledge of abdominal vascular anatomy is very important for surgeons and radiologists to perform many of the clinical diagnostic evaluations. The celiac trunk, one of the branches of the abdominal aorta shows numerous variations in its branching pattern and its branches. The present study is to demonstrate the rare branching pattern of celiac trunk, into hepatogastric and hepatosplenic tr...

OBJECTIVE Several techniques have been described for the treatment of thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms in patients with mega aortic syndrome (MAS), but the incidence of stroke, spinal cord injury, and endoleaks remains high. We present the midterm results of a new hybrid, multistep technique to treat patients with MAS. METHODS From November 2005 to January 2011, 80 patients with MAS un...
