Variant Arterial Supply of the Descending Colon by the Coeliac Trunk: A Case Report
<i>Background and Objectives</i>: Knowledge of arterial variations of the intestines is of great importance in visceral surgery and interventional radiology. <i>Materials and Methods</i>: An unusual variation in the blood supply of the descending colon was observed in a Cauca...

| description | <i>Background and Objectives</i>: Knowledge of arterial variations of the intestines is of great importance in visceral surgery and interventional radiology. <i>Materials and Methods</i>: An unusual variation in the blood supply of the descending colon was observed in a Caucasian female body donor. <i>Results</i>: In this case, the left colic artery that regularly derives from the inferior mesenteric artery supplying the descending colon was instead a branch of the common hepatic artery. <i>Conclusions</i>: Here, we describe the very rare case of an aberrant left colic artery arising from the common hepatic artery in a dissection study. |
