Materials and Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional and predominantly descriptive study based on the analysis of multidetector computed tomography images of 60 patients.  Results: The celiac trunk anatomy was normal in 90% of cases. Hepatosplenic trunk was found in 8.3% of patients, and hepatogastric trunk in 1.7%. Variation of the HAS was observed in 21.7% of cases, including anomalous location of the right hepatic artery in 8.3% of cases, and of the left hepatic artery, in 5%. Also, cases of joint relocation of right and left hepatic arteries, and trifurcation of the proper hepatic artery were observed, respectively, in 3 (5%) and 2 (3.3%) patients. Mean length and caliber of the CAT were 2.3 cm and 0.8 cm, respectively. Mean distance between CAT and superior mesenteric artery was 1.2 cm (standard deviation = 4.08). A significant correlation was observed between CAT diameter and length, and CAT diameter and distance to superior mesenteric artery.  Conclusion: The pattern of CAT variations and diameter corroborate the majority of the literature data. However, this does not happen in relation to the HAS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0100-3984.2014.0100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,24]],"date-time":"2016-01-24T05:26:49Z","timestamp":1453613209000},"page":"358-362","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Anatomical variations of the celiac trunk and hepatic arterial system: an analysis using multidetector computed tomography angiography"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Severino Aires","family":"Araujo Neto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henrique Almeida","family":"Franca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos Fernando de","family":"Mello J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eul\u00e2mpio Jos\u00e9","family":"Silva Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gustavo Ramalho Pessoa","family":"Negromonte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cl\u00e1udia Martina Ara\u00fajo","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bartolomeu Fragoso","family":"Cavalcanti Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebeca Danielly da Fonseca","family":"Farias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"917","article-title":"Properties of the celiac trunk - anatomical study","volume":"34","author":"Malnar D","year":"2010","journal-title":"Coll Antropol"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"399","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aanat.2009.05.002","article-title":"Anatomic variation of the celiac trunk with special reference to hepatic artery patterns","volume":"191","author":"Chen H","year":"2009","journal-title":"Ann Anat"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"329","article-title":"Coeliac trunk and its branches: anatomical variations and clinical implications","volume":"53","author":"Prakash","year":"2012","journal-title":"Singapore Med J"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"959","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276-012-0989-9","article-title":"Absence of the celiac trunk: case report using MDCT angiography","volume":"34","author":"Matusz P","year":"2012","journal-title":"Surg Radiol Anat"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.4067\/S0717-95022010000100028","article-title":"Variations in the branching pattern of the celiac trunk in a Kenyan population","volume":"28","author":"Mburu KS","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int J Morphol"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"661","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr\/21236482","article-title":"Anatomical variations of hepatic arterial system, coeliac trunk and renal arteries: an analysis with multidetector CT angiography","volume":"83","author":"Ugurel MS","year":"2010","journal-title":"Br J Radiol"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1590\/S0100-69912013000300010","article-title":"Varia\u00e7\u00f5es da art\u00e9ria hep\u00e1tica: estudo anat\u00f4mico em cad\u00e1veres","volume":"40","author":"Sebben GA","year":"2012","journal-title":"Rev Col Bras Cir"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Atlas de anatomia humana Sobotta","first-page":"132","volume-title":"V\u00edsceras abdominais e p\u00e9lvicas","author":"Putz R","year":"2000","edition":"21\u00aa ed"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276-008-0324-7","article-title":"Multidetector-row CT angiographic imaging of the celiac trunk: anatomy and normal variants","volume":"30","author":"Iezzi R","year":"2008","journal-title":"Surg Radiol Anat"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aanat.2010.10.009","article-title":"A morphometric study concerning the branching points of the main arteries in humans: relationships and correlations","volume":"193","author":"Panagouli E","year":"2011","journal-title":"Ann Anat"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1590\/S0102-86502009000100009","article-title":"Arterial diameter of the celiac trunk and its branches.
