The awareness of anatomical variations of hepatic arteries and celiac trunk is very important in interventional radiology, liver transplant and intra-abdominal oncologic surgeries. Radiology plays an important role in the identification of these variants non-invasively. Digital subtraction angiography was the gold standard for their identification. Computed tomography (CT) angiography non-invasively provides detailed knowledge of various anatomical vascular variations. This pictorial review highlights the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the identification of celiac trunk-hepatic arterial system variations and clinical consequences.

Purpose: The use of surgeon-modified fenestrated endograft to treat a bleeding complication in the common iliac artery.

Technique: An Endurant limb graft was modified on back table in theater after planning the fenestration using a semi-automated centerline. The Endurant stent was planned to land flush at the aortic bifurcation.

Introduction/aim: The partial deployment technique (PDT) is an unconventional option of T-branch deployment to allow target arteries (TAs) cannulation/stenting from the upper arm access, in case of narrow (NPA: <25mm) or severely angulated (APA: >60°) aorta. Aim of this study was to report outcomes of the endovascular repair of complex aortic (c-AAAs) and thoracoabdominal (TAAAs) aneurysms by T-branch and PDT.

Methods: All consecutive patients underwent urgent endovascular repair of c-AAAs and TAAAs by T-branch (Cook-Medical, Bloomington, IN, US) and PDT from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed.

: The parallel stent graft endovascular aortic repair (PGEVAR) technique is an off-the-shelf option used for elective complex abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with acceptable outcome results, as reported so far. The PGEVAR technique, using chimney or periscope parallel grafts, can also be used for patients with ruptured complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, only few data about the mid- to long-term outcomes are available.

Celiac trunk angiography with balloon occlusion of splenic artery for diagnosis and treatment of splenic steal syndrome.

Radiol Case Rep

March 2025

University of Maryland School of Medicine, Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Baltimore, MD, USA.

Splenic steal syndrome (SSS) post liver transplant is a potential cause of graft dysfunction in the setting of peripheral hepatic arterial bed resistance and redirection of blood flow to a dominant splenic artery resulting in reduction of hepatic arterial inflow. We report utilization of balloon occlusion of the proximal splenic artery as an objective measure to confirm the diagnosis of SSS in a patient with orthotopic liver transplant followed by successful treatment with proximal splenic artery embolization using Gelfoam and Amplatzer vascular plug. Written informed consent for the publication of this case report was obtained from the patient.

Encountering Arc of Bühler during pancreaticoduodenectomy surgery.

BMJ Case Rep

January 2025

Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery Unit, Royal North Shore Hospital, St Leonards, New South Wales, Australia.

The Arc of Bühler (AoB) is a rare anatomical variant in gastrointestinal vasculature where there is an aberrant anastomotic vessel between coeliac and superior mesenteric arteries. We present a rare case where AoB was noted intraoperatively to have haemodynamically significant flow in the context of coeliac artery stenosis, supplementing arterial supply to the hepatic artery proper via the gastroduodenal artery (GDA). An interpositional jump graft between the aorta and the GDA stump was created using the long saphenous vein, and flow was restored.
