“…The right gastroepiploic artery has also been reported to arise from the SMA (Sakamoto et al, 1999). In other cases, branches' hitherto arising from the SMA has been reported to arise from the celiac trunk or from a coeliacomesenteric trunk (Yíldílrím et al, 2004;Çiçekcibas¸i et al, 2005;Katagiri et al, 2006).…”

“…The abdominal vessels, especially the CT and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), frequently show diverse anomalies in their origin and course (7)(8)(9). In 75-90% of individuals, it runs horizontally forward for approximately 1.25 cm (8,9). The trunk may be shorter or longer than usual and its length varies between 8 mm and 40 mm (9,10).…”

The trifurcation of the CT was first described by Haller in 1756 and this "tripus Halleri" was and is still considered to be the normal appearance of the CT (8).…”

Background/Aims: Anatomical variation of the abdominal arteries is important. Historic and modern anatomists, radiologists, as well as surgeons have reported and accumulated anatomical variations with a morphological and clinical interest. During graft procurement and reconstruction, accidental injury of the hepatic artery is more likely in the presence of hepatic arterial variation, which can be a common clinical entity. During cadaveric dissection and diagnostic radiological imaging, various types of vascular anomalies are frequently found in human abdominal viscera, especially the celiac trunk. The aim of the present study is to determine anatomical variations in the celiac trunk and hepatic arterial system. Materials and Methods: Digital subtraction angiography data were collected from 152 consecutive donor patients (103 males and 49 females, aged between 6 and 77 years) who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation. Results: We examined the anatomy of the celiac trunk in a total of 152 consecutive patients. In total, 62.5% (95/152) of patients showed the classical trifurcation of the celiac trunk. Variant right hepatic arteries arising from the superior mesenteric artery were observed in 17.8% (27/152), the hepatic arteries arising from the left gastric artery were found in 13.1% (20/152), and common hepatic arteries arising from the superior mesenteric artery were observed in 6.6% (10/152) of patients. Conclusion: These data are useful for planning and performing surgical and radiological procedures of the upper abdomen.

“…The occurrence of a celiacomesenteric trunk is only 1-2.7 % of cases (Cavdar et al, 1997). Cicekcibasi et al (2005) have reported the presence of a celiacomesenteric trunk, which gave rise to the left gastric, the common hepatic, the splenic, the left gastro-epiploic, the right and left inferior phrenic arteries. Nayak (2006) has reported the presence of an abnormally long celiaco-mesenterico-phrenic trunk, which gave a common inferior phrenic trunk, a celiac trunk and a superior mesenteric artery.…”

Abstract:The knowledge of vascular variations, like other anatomical variations, is important during the operative, diagnostic and endovascular procedures in abdomen. This report describes variations in the celiac trunk and abnormal entry of hepatic arteries into the liver as found during routine dissection in approximately 65 years old female cadaver. The celiac trunk was two inches long and gave 2 inferior phrenic arteries, a left gastric artery, and then bifurcated into a splenic and a common hepatic artery. The common hepatic artery gave rise to left hepatic artery, which entered the liver through fi ssure for ligamentum venosum. The common hepatic artery then divided into right hepatic and gastroduodenal arteries. The cystic artery was a branch of the left hepatic artery. The porta hepatis of the liver was situated on the right side of the caudate lobe. The knowledge of variation reported here is important during endovascular procedures, cholecystectomy and liver transplantation from the living donors (Fig. 2 The hepatic, splenic and left gastric arteries are considered as the "main classic branches" of the celiac trunk (CT). In the embryonic life, yolk sac is supplied by vitelline arteries. Later they gradually fuse and help in formation of the arteries dorsal to the mesentery of the gut. In the adult, they are developed as CT, superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric arteries. These vessels supply the derivatives of foregut, midgut and hindgut, respectively (1). CT supplies the parts of the foregut like liver, stomach, pancreas and superior part of duodenum. Variations of the CT and its branches, their relationship to surrounding structures are therefore of particular importance from a surgical perspective (2, 3). Material and methodsDuring the gross anatomy dissection of the abdomen of approximately 65 year old female cadaver, we observed variations in the branching pattern, course and distribution of the celiac trunk. Some variations were also found at the porta hepatis of the liver. The celiac artery was two inches long. It fi rst gave a pair of inferior phrenic arteries and a left gastric artery and then bifurcated into splenic and common hepatic arteries (Figs 1 and 2). The common hepatic artery gave a left hepatic artery, which entered the liver through the fi ssure for ligamentum venosum (Fig. 2). Near the inferior surface of the liver, the left hepatic artery gave a cystic artery to the gall bladder (Fig. 1). The cystic artery entered the Calot's triangle passing anterior to the common hepatic duct. The common hepatic artery terminated by dividing into gastroduodenal and right hepatic arteries. The right hepatic artery entered the liver through the porta hepatis.The porta hepatis was situated between the caudate lobe and the right lobe of the liver. The right hepatic artery, bile duct and portal vein were seen entering/leaving the liver at porta hepatis (Fig. 2). The posterior surface of the liver was merged with the inferior surface and the groove for inferior vena cava was very small. The act...
