  • Title: [Arterial vascularization of the colon. The middle mesenteric artery].
    Author: Pillet J, Reigner B, Lhoste P, Pillet JC, Mercier P, Cronier P.
    Journal: Bull Assoc Anat (Nancy); 1993 Sep; 77(238):27-30. PubMed ID: 8148521.
    Abstract:
    In its modal disposition, the arterial vascularisation of the colon is on the dependence of the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries anastomosed by the way of "arcade de Riolan". Some more exceptional schemes can complicate this distribution: arteria colica media, medium mesenteric artery, intermesenteric arcus. This rare arterial dispositions can have a big practical importance, in the case of colic transposition, and more recently in the case of the utilization of the right gastroepiploic artery for coronary by-pass.
