Variations of the celiac trunk investigated by multidetector computed tomography: Systematic review and meta‐analysis with clinical correlations

In recent years multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has been used to investigate vascular anatomy for scientific and diagnostic purposes. These studies allow for much larger sample sizes than traditional cadaveric studies. The aim of this research was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on studies investigating the variations of the celiac trunk using MDCT. Major medical databases were used to find studies investigating celiac trunk anatomy using MDCT. Extracted information included demographic details, number of normal celiac trunks, and number of each variant celiac trunk. Using a random effects meta-analysis the pooled prevalence of each variation was calculated. A total of 36 studies from 14 countries and four continents were included in the meta-analysis. The total number of subjects included was 17,391. The total prevalence of variant celiac trunks was 10.85%. The different types of celiac trunk variations with their prevalences were: gastrosplenic trunk (3.46%), hepatosplenic trunk (3.88%), hepatogastric trunk (0.24%), absent celiac trunk (0.28%), celiacomesenteric trunk (0.46%), hepatosplenomesenteric trunk (0.26%), gastrosplenomesenteric trunk (0.07%), and celiacomesenteric anastomosis (0.09%). A total of 61 cases (0.19%) were either not described or not described adequately to be included in our classification. Major variations of the celiac trunk are not uncommon and should be anticipated before radiological and surgical interventions. Knowledge of celiac trunk anatomy is important in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, transplantology, and interventional radiology.

“…The CT is normally 1.5 to 2.3 cm long, and its trunk traverses horizontally forward, trifurcating into the LGA, CHA, and SA (55-100% of the population) [1,3,4,[6][7][8][9][10]12,14,16,18,[23][24][25][26]28,29,33,34,[39][40][41][42][43][44]. This trifurcation was first described by Haller in 1756 as tripus Halleri [7,8,18,21,22,24,28,30,35,45,46]. The origin of the CT from the abdominal aorta, however, can vary.…”

Knowledge of the vascular anatomy of the upper abdomen is important in the daily practice of surgeons specialized in the hepatobiliary and pancreatic area, and for general surgeons and radiologists, mainly those involved in interventional radiology. Since anatomical variants of the celiac axis and hepatic arteries are common, an accurate description of vascularization is required before procedures to avoid iatrogenic vascular changes. We reported a case of a young male patient with HBV related cirrhosis, who came to our institution for the treatment of 2 HCC nodules. The preprocedural contrast-enhanced CT examination showed combined variations of celiac trunk, hepatic arteries, gastroduodenal artery, and right inferior phrenic artery. The careful pre- and intraprocedural evaluation of vascularization allowed us to perform transarterial chemoembolization of the 2 nodules without complications. The incidence and developmental and clinical significance of this variation is discussed with a detailed review of the literature. Knowledge of such a case has important clinical significance in abdominal operations or invasive arterial procedures.
