  • Title: [The relationship of the inferior mesenteric vein with arteries].
    Author: Litvinenko LM.
    Journal: Morfologiia; 2004; 125(1):36-9. PubMed ID: 15083577.
    Abstract:
    The investigation was based on the results of roentgen-anatomical study of 155 digestive tract complexes obtained from 155 cadavers of humans of both genders aged 17-90 years. It was established that in 91% (in 141 of 155) of the cases the trunk of the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) was accompanied by the arteries only in the lower part (by inferior mesenteric artery) and in the middle part (by the left colic artery). The terminal part of IMV was separated from the artery. In 9% of (in 14 of 155) cases the trunk of the IMV is accompanied along the whole extent by different arteries (from down upwards): by inferior mesenteric artery and left colic artery from inferior mesenteric artery, and in its terminal part either by an additional anastomosis between the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries (in 5 of 14 cases), or by an additional anastomosis between superior and inferior mesenteric arteries and the branch or trunk of the proximal colic artery from the superior mesenteric artery (in 9 of 14 cases).
