Вариации верхней брыжеечной артерии

Abstract

Abstract Background: The high level of development of abdominal surgery and the increase in the number of operative interventions, requires extensive information on intestinal morphology in the context of individual variability. For these reasons, a study was conducted to identify individual structural and topographical variants. Material and methods: The variants of the trajectory and the angles of branching of the superior mesenteric artery in humans in relation to age and sex were studied on 106 aorthograms. Results: We evaluated the superior mesenteric artery, regarding the level of its emergence, the arterial ostium, the incidence of the beginning portion of the vessel. Special attention was drawn to cases in which the superior mesenteric artery a few centimeters from its origin from the abdominal aorta is subjected to the dispersed type of branching. Conclusions: Panaortography highlights the individual variability of the trajectory and branching of the superior mesenteric artery.
