Variation in the branching patterns of the three major arteries that supply the digestive system may occur due to different embryological mechanisms.
The present case report describes the celiac artery and the superior mesenteric artery originating from the abdominal aorta through a common trunk. The celiac artery in turn gave rise to the splenic artery and a common trunk for common hepatic and left gastric artery. The superior and inferior mesenteric arteries had normal branching patterns.
Awareness of these variations on the part of the surgical team before surgery can help avoid iatrogenic arterial injury.
由于不同的胚胎学机制，供应消化系统的三条主要动脉的分支模式可能会出现变异。
本病例报告描述了腹腔干动脉和肠系膜上动脉通过一个共同主干发自腹主动脉。腹腔干动脉继而发出脾动脉以及肝总动脉和胃左动脉的一个共同主干。肠系膜上动脉和肠系膜下动脉的分支模式正常。
手术团队在手术前了解这些变异有助于避免医源性动脉损伤。
