Objective To describe the main anatomical variations of the celiac trunk and the hepatic artery at their origins. Materials and Methods This was a prospective analysis of 100 consecutive computed tomography angiography studies of the abdomen performed during a one-year period. The findings were stratified according to classification systems devised by Sureka et al. and Michels. Results The ...

A case of an anatomic variation in the branching of the celiac trunk in association with a variation in the course of right testicular artery is reported. It was discovered that the celiac trunk emerged from the ventral aspect of abdominal aorta as two roots, which are named hepatogastric and splenomesenteric trunks. The hepatogastric root was located superior to the splenomesenteric root. The ...

Introduction The celiac trunk is the artery of the foregut and normally arises from the abdominal aorta at the level of T12 vertebra. It is about 1-2 cm long and divides into common hepatic; left gastric and splenic arteries. The right and left inferior phrenic arteries normally are lateral branches of abdominal aorta immediately below the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm [1]. There are many vari...

E-Mail: [email protected] Introduction: The anatomical variations of the Celiac trunk and its branches are due to developmental changes in the ventral splanchnic arteries. The arterial variations like other anatomical...

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a specific type of duodenal obstruction marked by blockage the inferior part duodenum as result compression between superior (SMA) and aorta. Depletion fatty pad causes this complication. In current study, we describe case SMAS involving 36-year-old lady who presented with postprandial pain, weight loss, hematemesis. The patient was investigated for...

A 66-year-old gentleman presents with extent II thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) secondary to chronic dissection with a maximal diameter of 6 cm. Partial thrombosis of false lumen in thoracic and abdominal aorta was present. Intimal tear was detected at the origin of the left subclavian artery and the dissection extended down to the aortic bifurcation. The left femoral artery, ascending ...

a 32-year-old female patient with previous bentall operation and mitral valve repair surgery due to severe aortic insufficiency, mitral valve insufficiency, and ascending aortic aneurysm was admitted to our hospital with serious dyspnea, fatigue, and mild chest pain. two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a markedly dilated basal aorta and cardiac chambers. thoracic computed tomography s...

A 15-yr-old male with ischemic bowel pain and mid-aortic syndrome presented for surgical correction. An aortogram revealed narrowing of the aorta (black arrow) from level celiac artery to origin inferior mesenteric artery. Whereas right renal (dotted branched off narrowed segment aorta, left kidney was supplied entirely collateral vessels axis (white arrows).Mid-aortic is responsible 0.5 2% ste...

A 50-year-old man was operated on for acute type I (DeBakey classification) aortic dissection. The supracoronary ascending aorta was replaced with an interposition graft. Postoperative computed tomography and angiography clearly revealed a double-barrelled aortic arch, left common carotid artery and descending thoracoabdominal aorta with contrast filling of both true and false lumen starting fr...

Normal pulmonary trunk (22 mm). Dilated left pulmonary artery (27 mm) with increased pulmonary artery-to-bronchus ratio, which may indicate either redirection of the flow or increased pulmonary pressure. Right pulmonary artery was tortuous and hypoplastic, measuring 10 mm in its proximal portion and 9mm in its medial third (Figure 1D). Enlarged branch (13 x 13 mm) from the abdominal aorta at th...
