AI Article Synopsis

  • Understanding different types of arterial blood supply is important for surgeries related to the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts (HPB) as well as general surgery.
  • The article discusses an 84-year-old man who had a total pancreatectomy due to a tumor and had unique arterial variations, including a replacing right hepatic artery and a middle colic artery connected to the splenic artery.
  • This case highlights a previously unreported combination of arterial configurations, specifically a type III supply according to Michel's classification and a middle colic artery variation.

Article Abstract

Knowledge of variations in arterial vascular supply is crucial in HPB and general surgery. Although the arterial configuration of the coeliac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery had been investigated, there are still arterial branching patterns to be described. We herein present the case of an 84-year-old male patient who underwent total pancreatectomy due to a not specified pancreas head tumor with a replacing right hepatic artery according to Michel's classification III and a replacing middle colic artery arising from the splenic artery and running on the ventral side of the pancreas. To the best of our knowledge, this arterial branching pattern has never been described so far. In this case, two arterial variations had been presented with a type III arterial supply according to Michel's classification, and a replacing middle colic artery arising from the SA.
