Anatomical Variations in the Branches of the Coeliac Trunk
The coeliac trunk is the first ventral branch of the abdominal aorta and it supplies the supracolic organs. Usually, it branches into the left gastric, the common hepatic and the splenic arteries. Although it usually comprises the same basic components, there is a great deal of variation within...

| description | The coeliac trunk is the first ventral branch of the abdominal
aorta and it supplies the supracolic organs. Usually, it
branches into the left gastric, the common hepatic and the
splenic arteries. Although it usually comprises the same basic
components, there is a great deal of variation within the coeliac
artery branches. The aim of this study was to describe such
variations in detail.
This study was conducted on 20 cadavers (3 females and 17
males) which were used during the routine dissection for first
year MBBS students in the department of Anatomy, Kasturba
Medical College, Manipal, India.
Variations in the branching pattern of the coeliac artery was
observed in two cadavers and the rest of the cadavers showed
the normal branching pattern.
The vascular patterns are important in the planning and
performance of all the upper abdominal surgical procedures.
Knowledge on the variations of the coeliac trunk is important for
procedures such as liver transplants, for appropriate vascular
ligation and anastomosis and also, for surgical and radiological
procedures around the head of the pancreas. It is also useful
in planning and executing radiological interventions such as
celiacography and the chemoembolization of hepatic tumours. |
