Arterial Diameter of the Celiac Trunk and Its Branches: Anatomical Study

Abstract

ABSTRACTPurpose: Despite the fact that anatomical variations of the celiac trunk are well explored in the literature, information on these vessels diameters is scanty. The aims of the present study were to describe the arterial diameters of the celiac trunk and its main branches, and to investigate if these diameters are altered in those cases presenting anatomical variations of these vessels. Methods: Twenty-one formalin fixed adult male cadavers were appropriately dissected for the celiac trunk identificati…
