Abstract
156 abdominal preparations were explored by arteriography, corrosion and dissection. The ileocolic artery is the most constant collateral of the superior mesenteric artery. It provides a ramus colicus which is often confused with a true arteria colica dextra. The a. colica dextra, arising on the superior mesenteric artery, is found in only 13% of the abdominal preparations. The PNA ‘a. colica media’ covers a system of individually varying vessels: a. colica media, common stem of r. anguli coli and r. coli transversi; a. anguli coli, a. coli transversi; a. colica sinistra accessoria and a. coli transversi accessoria. Both mesenteric arteries may be linked by an intermesenteric arch (12%).Keywords
