The patient data were acquired from the Picture Archiving and Communication System of our institutions. We analysed the celiac trunk\u2019s origin and branching pattern, including the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and inferior phrenic artery (IPA).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We evaluated the CTA studies of 1050 patients. A normal trifurcation pattern, the most common type, was observed in 39% of cases. Variation with CA + left IPA was the most common subtype. Other variations noted in the study and their incidences are listed in the table below. We attempted to propose a new classification based on embryo\u00adlogy, which comprises 6 main types and their subtypes. We also analysed previous studies from the literature, including cadaveric, post-mortem, CTA, and digital subtraction angiography studies and compared them with the present study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Because variations of CA classifications reported to date do not encompass all CA branching pattern variants, we have proposed a new classification that incorporates most of the variants.
