An Anomalous Branching of Coeliac Trunk
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Anatomical variations of the coeliac trunk arevery common. A variation of coeliac trunk occursdue to the developmental abnormalities inthe ventral splanchnic arteries. Present paperhighlights a rare variation of branching patternof coeliac trunk which was observed during routinedissection. In a 63 year old male cadaver,we observed a bifurcation of coeliac trunk intoshort hepato-splenic and longer hepato-gastrictrunks. The hepato-splenic trunk divided intocommon hepatic artery and splenic artery. Cysticartery originated from proper hepatic arteryand then proper hepatic artery divided into rightand left hepatic arteries. Hepato-gastric trunkran laterally and upward, and then it divided intotwo branches: a left gastric artery and left accessoryhepatic artery. Knowledge of this rarevariation is clinically very important for surgeons,especially while performing liver transplantation,gastric, gallbladder surgeries andtransarterial chemoembolization for hepatictumor and during invasive procedures like angiographyand also other radiological studies.
