  • Title: The arterial circulation of the left suprarenal gland.
    Author: Bianchi H, Ferrari A.
    Journal: Surg Radiol Anat; 1991; 13(2):113-6. PubMed ID: 1925911.
    Abstract:
    The findings in a study of the general circulation of the suprarenal glands in 25 cases, and particularly of the left glands in 50 cases, are presented. The vessels arose from three pedicles: superior, middle and inferior. The inferior pedicle was the most irregular, with a frequent contribution from the gonadal artery to the inferior part of the gland; this artery should not be regarded as merely an accessory vessel. On the left side an inconstant posterior pedicle, separate from the others, was found in 26% of cases. Two forms of gonadal artery supplying the gland (8%) are described, an upper origin type at the renal artery level and an aberrant type.
