  • Title: Origin of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries in a common trunk: description of a rare vessel variation of the celiacomesenteric trunk with a literature review.
    Author: Yan J, Nagasawa Y, Nakano M, Hitomi J.
    Journal: Okajimas Folia Anat Jpn; 2014; 91(2):45-8. PubMed ID: 25492844.
    Abstract:
    A variation artery was observed in a Japanese cadaver. The celiac and superior mesenteric arteries arose from a common trunk (also referred to as the celiacomesenteric trunk), but not from the abdominal aorta, respectively. From the common trunk, the common hepatic artery was distributed in the right part of the liver, and the left hepatic artery arose from the left gastric artery, which also arose from the common trunk. The left inferior phrenic artery arose from the common trunk, but the right inferior phrenic artery arose from the right middle suprarenal artery. This information regarding the branch pattern in this variation artery is useful for clinical examination and treatment.
