[Arterial celiac-mesenterial aberrations: comparative analysis of intraoperative data and CT-angiography]

137 CT-angiograms of arterial celiac-mesenterial vessels were pro- and retrospectively analyzed in 120 patients. Radiological data was compared with intraoperative anatomy during standard and extended pancreatoduodenal resections. The analysis showed a considerable variability in architecture of celiac and superior mesenteric artery branches: hereby, a classical arterial anatomy was found only on 55% of the analyzed CT-scans. Intraoperative revision confirmed CT-data in all cases. CT-angiography is a prompt and reliable method of celiac-mesenterial arterial anatomy determination, making surgical treatment of patients with liver and pancreas diseases safer.
