The celiac trunk and hepatobiliary anatomy often display variations in origin and branching patterns. A particularly rare variant involving the cystic artery giving rise to a common trunk for the supraduodenal and an aberrant right gastric artery, with an additional accessory right gastric artery originating from the splenic artery, has not been previously documented. We report a unique variation in the branching pattern of the celiac trunk and the cystic artery revealed during routine dissection of the hepatobiliary region of a male cadaver at Louisiana State University, Health Sciences Center, Shreveport. In this case, the cystic artery originated from the gastroduodenal artery and gave rise to a common trunk of an aberrant right gastric artery and the supraduodenal artery. Additionally, the cadaver lacked a proper hepatic artery, and an additional (accessory) right gastric artery originated from the splenic artery. This report is the first documented instance of such combined variations in the celiac and hepatobiliary arterial anatomy. Recognizing potential variations in these anatomies is crucial for radiological and surgical interventions in the hepatobiliary area to avoid iatrogenic hemorrhage or biliary complications.

The celiac ganglia and trunk: an assessment of anatomical variants and their clinical relevance.
J Med Life
January 2025
Discipline of Anatomy, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania.
The celiac ganglia are a network of nerve fibers that regulate various functions related to digestion, while the celiac trunk is a major artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the stomach, small intestine, and other organs in the upper abdominal region. Anatomical variants of these structures are common and can have significant implications for surgical and medical procedures. This prospective observational study was conducted over one year and included 300 patients (aged 45-75 years) with a history of peripheral arterial disease, evaluated at Dr.

Common types include aortic, cardiac, and femoral pseudoaneurysms, while left gastric artery pseudoaneurysms (LGAP) are rare visceral occurrences, with only a handful of documented cases. LGAPs are often associated with recurrent pancreatitis and require prompt recognition and treatment due to their high risk of rapid bleeding and fatal outcomes if left untreated.

Background: Due to the rarity of median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), surgical approaches to median arcuate ligament release (MALR) have been understudied. This series aimed to review robot-assisted laparoscopic MALR from a quaternary care center.
Methods: This is a single center cohort study of adult patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic MALR between March 2015 and June 2023.
Case report: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding associated with pancreatic segmental portal hypertension: six case reports and literature review.

Background: Pancreatic segmental portal hypertension (PSPH) is a clinical syndrome in which splenic vein hypertension is caused by obstruction, stenosis, or thrombosis of the splenic veins in the primary pancreatic disease. Gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by gastric varices (GVs) is one of the life-threatening complications in the patients with left portal hypertension. The aim was to report our experience and discuss the manifestations, management, and prognosis of PSPH with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

Meanwhile, the association between the fornix low perfusion on devascularized whole stomach (DWS) and the incidence of AL remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the impact of the fornix low perfusion on DWS.
