AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how often different types of arterial variants appear in abdominal CT angiography (CTA) before surgeries related to the pancreas and hepatobiliary system.
- Common and uncommon variants in hepatic and celiac arteries were frequently found.
- CTA is a useful tool for recognizing these variants, which is crucial for planning surgical procedures for patients with pancreatic and hepatobiliary tumors.
Article Abstract
Objective: The objective of our study was to determine the frequency of different arterial variants identified at abdominal CT angiography (CTA) performed before pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery.
Conclusion: Variant hepatic and celiac arterial anatomy is common. CTA can be used to identify common and uncommon variants that are important for the surgical management of patients with pancreatic and hepatobiliary neoplasms.
