Abstract

SUMMARY


Introduction: Celiac artery, the first branch is given off from abdominal artery when it passes through diaphragm. It is the major
source of blood supply to the supracolic abdominal compartment. Anatomical variations of celiac artery and its branching pattern are frequently found during diagnostic radiological imaging and during
surgical exploring in current practice. There are many descriptive statistic of celiac variants published on international journal, it is included in many ethnic and national research, but there is no such the same publish in large number in Vietnameses.
Purpose: Descriptive statistic of celiac artery variations by Digital subtraction angiography.
Material and Method: Descriptive statistic of celiac artery by using digital subtraction angiography which we have done during
treating patients at Interventional Radiology Unit, Gia Định Hospital from March 2011 to July 2015. The result is compared to international published data and contributing to Vietnamese population morphology.
Results: of 378 celiac arteries we found that 286 arteries (75.7%) are normal which present all three branches such left gastric artery, splenic artery, and common hepatic artery. The remain are variations with 24.3% in total. Among normal variant, we found that there are many small branches are given of directly from celiac trunk. They are
such right or left inferior phrenic arteries or dorsal pancreatic artery, which normally are not come from celiac trunk. But due to using
classifications from Michel – Hiatt, Song et al.; Benit et al. and Adachi et al., we have to include those data into normal variations when we see all three branches of it. We also found a rare variant which Song et al. has no case; that is type 14 which common hepatic artery, left gastric artery and superior mesenteric artery are same trunk, while
splenic artery is directly off from aorta.
Conclusion: With current statistic, we hope to contribute to fulfill morphologic database of Vietnamese as well as international population.
