  Celiac artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The stomach is raised and inverted - compare with celiac artery branches - stomach in situ.
The celiac artery, also known as the celiac trunk, is the first major branch of the abdominal aorta.
Blood from the celiac artery is drained by the splenic vein and a number of smaller vessels from the stomach.

Of the visceral branches, the celiac artery and the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries are unpaired, while the suprarenals, renals, internal spermatics, and ovarian are paired.
gastrica sinistra; gastric or coronary artery), the smallest of the three branches of the celiac artery, passes upward and to the left, posterior to the omental bursa, to the cardiac orifice of the stomach.
The hepatic artery, in its course along the right border of the lesser omentum, is in relation with the common bile-duct and portal vein, the duct lying to the right of the artery, and the vein behind.

 Femoral artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In anatomy, the femoral artery is a large artery of the thigh.
The femoral artery goes through the adductor hiatus (a hole in the tendon of adductor magnus), into the posterior of the knee.
Passing between the condyles of the femur, it becomes the popliteal artery of the popliteal fossa.

 Kondo S, et al. Radical Distal Pancreatectomy with En Bloc Resection of the Celiac Artery, Plexus, and Ganglions for ...
Distal pancreatectomy with en bloc resection of the celiac and common hepatic arteries and the surrounding nerve tissues such as the celiac plexus and ganglions has recently been advocated as a radical resection for advanced carcinoma of the body of the pancreas [2, 3, 4].
Complete removal of the tumor is achieved by distal pancreatectomy with en bloc resection of the celiac, common hepatic, and left gastric arteries, the celiac plexus and ganglions, paraaortic lymph nodes, the diaphragmatic crus, and the left adrenal gland.
Arrows indicate the stumps of the celiac artery and the common hepatic artery.

The primary contributor of the superficial palmar arch is the ulnar artery.
This artery passes through the thenar muscles and runs superficial to the long flexor tendons, where it joins the superficial palmar arterial arch, the continuation of the ulnar artery (the radial artery is a minor contributor of the superficial palmar arch; the ulnar artery is the main contributor).
The radial artery gives off a few muscular branches and then passes between the two heads of the adductor pollicis muscle and joins the deep branch of the ulnar artery to form the deep palmar arch (the radial artery is the main contributor of this arch).

However, the celiac ganglion is consistently located at the origin of the celiac artery from the aorta.
The efficacy of celiac plexus block in patients with chronic pancreatitis is less well established and the results are not as favorable in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Although no cases of paraplegia during celiac block have been reported with the EUS approach, a theoretical risk of this complication should still be kept in mind (and explained to the patient during informed consent).

The blood supply to the duodenum comes from the superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, branches of the celiac artery, and the inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, which are branches of the superior mesenteric arteries.
This artery is also a branch of the celiac trunk and it supplies the liver as well as the stomach and duodenum.

Approximately 80% of cases of AMI are occlusive in etiology, with arterial emboli or thromboses predominating in 65% of cases and venous thrombosis in 15%.
Arterial occlusions are the result of emboli in 75% of patients and are caused by in situ thrombosis in the remaining 25%.
Arterial thromboses lodge at the origin of the vessel, and they occur much more commonly in the SMA due to the angle of take-off from the aorta—45° vs. the celiac axis which is 90°.

Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
The major arteries of the splanchnic circulation branch directly off the aorta and include the celiac artery (celiac axis), superior mesenteric artery, and inferior mesenteric artery.
Galen believed that the arterial blood was created by venous blood passing from the left ventricle to the right by passing through 'pores' in the interventricular septum, air passed from the lungs via the pulmonary artery to the left side of the heart.

The left gastric artery is identified in plate 290 and the gastropancreatic fold it travels in is labeled in plate 264.
Trace this artery along the lesser curvature of the stomach and try to find gastric, esophageal, and possibly hepatic branches (the latter two will move superiorly off the left gastric artery, see plate 290).
Plate 290 also shows the gastroduodenal artery giving off the posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery and then branching into the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery and right gastro-omental arteries at the inferior border of the duodenum.

 UpToDate Celiac artery compression syndrome
Celiac artery compression syndrome (also referred to as celiac axis syndrome, median arcuate ligament syndrome and Dunbar syndrome) is defined as abdominal pain related to compression of the celiac artery by fibers of the median arcuate ligament.
By contrast, in celiac artery compression syndrome, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the inferior mesenteric artery are widely patent thereby, in theory, providing an ample blood supply to the mesentery [4,11].
Similarly, autopsy studies have shown that the celiac artery is compressed by the median arcuate ligament in up to one-third of persons [15].

Compression of the celiac axis by the median arcuate ligament (MAL) is thought to result in a variant form of chronic intestinal ischemia.
Significant gastric mucosal ischemia was demonstrated prior to celiac artery decompression as indicated by a preoperative pHi of 7.29 (normal, 7.38-7.48).
The ischemia was relieved by celiac artery decompression with an increase in the pHi to 7.48.

It is important not to mistake extrinsic compression of the celiac artery by the median cruciate ligament of the diaphragm as a stenotic lesion.
Furthermore, these lesions are not circumferential and are limited to a characteristic concave impression on the cranial surface of the celiac artery just beyond its origin.
Although it was originally felt that stenosis or occlusion of two or more of the celiac, SMA and IMA were necessary to cause symptoms, Morris, et al., 1966 demonstrated that celiac artery stenosis alone could be sufficient to cause symptoms.

 THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 16, Ch. 211, Diseases Of The Aorta And Its Branches
Sudden occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery is typically due to an embolism, causing an abdominal catastrophe (abdominal apoplexy).
Occlusion due to renal artery embolism is heralded by the sudden onset of flank pain, followed by hematuria.
In severely symptomatic patients, surgical revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery and celiac axis can usually be achieved by bypassing from the supraceliac or infrarenal aorta to the splanchnic arteries distal to the occlusion.
