The present study was carried out on fifteen healthy adult White New Zealand rabbit (Orycotolagus cuniculus) to clarify the obscure mesenteric arteries, which and their branches which are usually involved in intestinal surgery. The mesenteric artery is a high caliber vessel, 2cm in length dependent on the abdominal aorta, right below the emergence of the vessels destined for the liver and stomach. The animals were sacrificed, injecting diazepam (30 mg/kg) in jugular vein. Cannulation of the abdominal aorta, perfusion with warmed water (40ºC) and stained latex injection (Neoprene 450, Capitol Scientific, Austin, U.S.A, Red carmine stain) were performed, followed by fixation. With formalin (10%) the dissection and photographic documents (Casio Cyber-shot, 12.1 mega pixels) made it possible to systemize the arteries and define the vascular patterns of the viscera. The results prone that the cranial mesenteric artery of the White New Zealand rabbit (Orycotolagus cuniculus) arose from the abdominal aorta, at the level of the second lumbar vertebra, entered the cranial mesentery forming its root, then proceeded caudoventrally in the mesojejunum and continued as the last cecal artery. The cranial mesenteric artery gave off: - Caudal pancreaticoduodenal artery to the right lobe of the pancreas and the descending and ascending parts of the duodenum. Middle colic artery, a small vessel (frequently two) arising from the left wall and passing to the transverse colon, Eighteen to twenty jejunal arteries, Ileocecocolic artery to the ileum, cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon and the cranial part of the descending colon. The caudal mesenteric artery arose from the abdominal aorta at the level of the caudal border of the root of the 6th lumbar transverse process, passed caudoventrally in the descending mesocolon, then divided into: left colic artery to the caudal two thirds of the descending colon, and cranial rectal artery to the cranial segment of the rectum. The obtained results were compared with their corresponding in the domestic animals, especially the domestic carnivores and laboratory animals.

Superior mesenteric artery, the second ventral branch of the abdominal aorta, supplies the distal duodenum, the small intestine, and the large intestine to the mid transverse colon. Superior mesenteric artery branches include the inferior anterior and inferior posterior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, middle colic artery, right colic artery, ileocolic artery, jejunal and ileal branches. The vascular anatomy of superior mesenteric branches is frequently variant. The explanation of variant vascular anatomy of branches and pathological consequences of diseases which impact the mesenteric vasculature might be due to the changes that appear in the development of ventral splanchnic arteries and their blood supply. Knowledge of mesenterical variations is valuable to radiologists and surgeons.

BACKGROUND Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) is one of the anterior branches of the abdominal aorta. It originates from abdominal aorta at the level of lower border of first lumbar vertebra, one centimeter below the coeliac trunk. It gives the first branch inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA), The colic branches arise from concave right side of the superior mesenteric artery, these are middle colic artery (MCA), right colic artery (RCA), ileo colic artery (ICA). Jejunal and ileal branches arise from left side of the SMA. Superior mesenteric artery supplies derivatives of midgut. Knowledge of branching pattern of the SMA is clinically important to gastroenterologists operating on gut and neighboring structures like pancreas, duodenum, and liver. We wanted to study the variations in the branches of superior mesenteric artery. METHODS This is a descriptive study conducted on 50 adult embalmed human cadavers by conventional dissection method, the findings were noted and tabulated. RESULTS Present study shows that inferior pancreatic duodenal artery orginated from SMA in 47 (94 %) specimens. IPDA was absent in 3 (6 %) specimens. Middle colic artery was found to arise from SMA in 48 (94 %) and MCA was absent in 2 (4 %) specimens. Right colic artery was found to arise from SMA in 47 (94 %) specimens and it was absent in 3 (6 %) specimens. Ileo-colic artery was found to arise from SMA in all 50 (100 %) specimens. CONCLUSIONS Awareness of these complex variations may prevent devastating complications during colonic surgeries. Variations in the branching pattern of superior mesenteric artery is essential for surgeons operating on derivatives of midgut, liver, pancreas.

Study Results

Background : The mesenteric blood supply is a combination of rich collateral networks. There are frequent anatomical variants encountered and these variations are sometimes involved in pathologies. Treatment of which requires a better understanding of the variations in the normal anatomy of the inferior mesenteric artery. Methods : The present study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar. A total of n=50 specimens, with n=17 adult males and n=2 adult female cadavers and fetuses of which n=26 were term and n=2, was preterm. Female fetuses n=2 of term and n=1 preterm were included in the study. Results : The following variations were observed in the present study of course and variations in the branches of the inferior mesenteric artery and are grouped into three types. Type I: In this type middle colic artery is arising from the inferior mesenteric artery instead of the superior mesenteric artery. It is a rare-variations and observed in a female fetus. Type-II: Four Sigmoidal arteries are arising from an inferior mesenteric artery, after the origin of the left colic artery. This type is observed in a male fetus. Type-III: Three Sigmoidal arteries are originated from the inferior mesenteric artery. This type was observed in a male adult and a male fetus. Conclusion: Out of the 50 cases included in the study we found type 1 variation of IMA in 2% of cases, type 2 variation was found in 2% samples, and type 3 variation was found in 4% of samples. Based on the variations radiologists and Surgeons should be aware of possible consequences when doing colectomy, right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, sigmoidectomy, en-bloc resection of the head of the pancreas, aneurysm, and chronic bowel ischemia. The present study is also useful for reconstructive surgeries in inferior mesenteric arteries in the case of ischemia.

Abstract Introduction: Precise knowledge of variations in arterial vascularization of the abdominal viscera is important for systematization of radiological and surgical anatomy in animals that serve as experimental models and in domestic animals. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the origin and main branches of the cranial and caudal mesenteric arteries in rabbits. Materials and Methods: The anatomical dissections were performed in 30 cadavers of adult rabbits, 15 males and 15 females. Results: The cranial mesenteric artery arose as a single artery in all females and males. The average length of the cranial mesenteric artery in females was 2.63 cm and originated at the level oflst lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%) animals, between the 1st and 2nd lumbar vertebra in four (26.67%), on the 2nd lumbar vertebra in seven (46.67%), between 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%) and at the level of 3rd lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%). The average length of the cranial mesenteric artery in males was 2.56 cm and originated at the level of1st lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%) animals, between the 1st and 2nd lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%), at the level of the 2nd lumbar vertebra in eight (53.33%), between the 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebra in three (20%). The main ramifications of the cranial mesenteric artery were the caudal pancreatic duodenal, middle colic, jejunal and ileocecocolic arteries. The caudal mesenteric artery arose as a single artery in all females and males. The average length of the caudal mesenteric artery in females was 0.846 cm and originated at the level of 5th lumbar vertebra in three (20%) animals, between the 5th and 6th lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%), at the level of the 6th lumbar vertebra in seven (46.67%), %), between the 6th and 7th lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%) and at the level of the 7th lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%). The average length of the caudal mesenteric artery in males was 0.79 cm and originated at the level of the 5th lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%) animals, between the 5th and 6th lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%), at the level of the 6th lumbar vertebra in seven (46.67%), between the 6th and 7th lumbar vertebra in four (26.67%) and at the level of the 7th lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%). The caudal mesenteric artery arises from the aorta, originating the cranial rectal and left colic arteries. Conclusion: No relation was observed between the mesenteric length and the rostrum-sacral length in rabbits. The origin of the cranial and caudal mesenteric artery is not gender dependent.

Abstract Introduction: The Barbados Black Belly is a breed of domestic sheep in the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Anatomical studies on the cranial and caudal mesenteric arteries are necessary to know the pattern of its blood supply to gain information in benefit of experimental surgery. Materials and Methods: The thoracic part of the aorta of five sheep was injected with red latex. Careful gross dissection of the cranial and caudal mesenteric arteries was performed either after embedding in 10% formalin solution for 2-3 days. Results: The cranial mesenteric artery originated from the abdominal aorta, caudally to the celiac trunk, giving caudal duodenal artery, jejunal arteries, ileal arteries, ileocolic artery and middle colic artery. The caudal mesenteric artery arises from the aorta, cranially to the external iliac arteries, originating the left colic and cranial rectal arteries. Conclusion: cranial and caudal mesenteric arteries supplied the small and large intestine of the Barbados Black Belly sheep except caudal part of the large intestine which were supplied by the middle and caudal rectal arteries.

Endovascular Stent Placement

Endovascular stent placement (ESP) for patient with spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SIDSMA) is a widely accepted treatment option. However, failed percutaneous ESP is not uncommon and is one of the leading causes for laparotomy. We report a case of 63-year-old man with SIDSMA encountered failed antegrade recanalization via conventional transfemoral approach. We achieved recanalization in a retrograde fashion through middle colic artery using rendezvous technique and successfully placed self-expandable stents inside the dissected superior mesenteric artery. The patient recovered well after percutaneous ESP. We herein describe the transcollateral retrograde approach of percutaneous ESP for SIDSMA as an alternative option when conventional antegrade recanalization fails.
