Anatomy of the splanchnic circulation

P L Kornblith et al. Surg Clin North Am. 1992 Feb.

Abstract

The blood supply to the intestines is a complex one, including branches of the three main splanchnic arteries as well as a vast collateral circulation. The variant anatomy and collateral pathways are described, based on anatomic dissections and angiographic studies, to focus attention on anatomically based explanations for clinical entities.
