Celiac trunk angiogram before transarterial chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma in a 62- year-old man. The celiac trunk (dotted line) divides into three major branches—left gastric artery (white arrow), splenic artery (black arrow), and common hepatic artery. The common hepatic artery divides into the proper hepatic artery (short arrow) and gastroduodenal artery (empty arrow) after branching the right gastric artery (white arrowhead). From the gastroduodenal artery, right gas-troepiploic artery (black arrowheads) and superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (circle) arise. The superior pancreaticoduodenal artery divides into anterior and posterior divisions.

Liver contusion from a motorcycle traffic accident in a 17-year-old boy. A, B. Active bleeding is well observed in liver segment 4A, characterized by increased contrast enhancement in the portal phase when compared to that in the delayed phase. C. The proper hepatic artery angiogram shows the right hepatic artery (arrowhead) and the left hepatic artery (empty arrowhead). The active bleeding (arrow) originates from the left hepatic artery branch.

Ulcer of duodenal 2nd portion on endoscopy in a 80-year-old woman. rows, A and B) and posterior (empty arrows, A and B) branches of the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery thought to be the causative artery, because it supplies the blood in this area. denal artery. Superior pancreaticoduodenal artery arises from the gastroduodenal artery (black arrow). In-row), LHA (arrowhead) and RHA (empty arrowhead), there was no evidence of active bleeding. A-C. Active bleeding (black box, C) is prominent in the proximal duodenum (asterisks) and the anterior (ar-are observed. A branch of the gastroduodenal artery, such as the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery, was D. Celiac trunk angiogram demonstrates the active bleeding (black box) from the superior pancreaticoduo-traluminal contour of the duodenum is visualized. In other major vessel branches such as CHA (white ar-CHA = common hepatic artery, LHA = left hepatic artery, RHA = right hepatic artery

Massive hematochezia in a 56-year-old man. A-C. In the arterial phase, highly attenuated area (arrows) is observed in the jejunal loop. While the measured attenuation decreased in the delayed phase, the extent gradually increased in the portal and delayed phases. One explanation for such phenomenon is that the blood vessel supplying the jejunum is the causative artery. D. On the superior mesenteric angiogram, active extravasation (black box) in the jejunal branches (circle) is visualized. The ileal branches (dotted circle) are also visualized.

Superior mesenteric angiogram for suspected active bleeding from a jejunal branch in a 56-year-old man. The superior mesenteric angiogram shows the jejunal branch (dotted circle), ileal branch (white circle), middle colic artery (black circle), right colic artery (empty arrow), and ileocolic artery (arrow). The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery is barely visible on this angiographic image.

Inferior mesenteric angiogram for suspected active bleeding from a jejunal branch in a 56-year-old man. The inferior mesenteric artery branches into the left colic (white arrow) and sigmoid arteries (black arrows). In the pelvic cavity, the inferior mesenteric artery continues its journey as the superior rectal artery (empty arrow).

The abdominal aorta divides into the common iliac arteries (empty arrows). The common iliac artery divides into the external iliac artery (black arrows) and the internal iliac artery (white arrow). The external iliac artery continues as the common femoral artery. The internal iliac artery divides into anterior (black arrowheads) and posterior (white arrowheads) divisions.

An 83-year-old woman involved in an out car traffic accident.

Out car traffic accident with fracture of the right superior pubic ramus in a 52-year-old man. A-F. The internal pudendal artery (white arrows) exits the pelvis with the inferior gluteal artery (black arrows) through the lower part of the greater sciatic foramen. The lower part means the gap below the P and above the inferior margin of the greater sciatic foramen. The internal pudendal artery crosses behind the IS, then reenters the pelvis through the lesser sciatic foramen and runs medial to the OI muscle. The active bleeding (black box) is at the course of the right internal pudendal artery. The obturator artery (empty arrows) runs along the obturator fascia of the pelvic sidewall to reach the OF. The SGA passes the upper part of the greater sciatic foramen. G. Right internal iliac angiography shows active bleeding (black box) at the end of the internal pudendal artery (white arrows). The SGA (dotted arrow) and the inferior gluteal artery (black arrow) are visualized. This patient has an anatomical variation (commonly, the superior and inferior gluteal arteries arise from a common trunk). E = external iliac artery, IIA = internal iliac artery, IS = ischial spine, OF = obturator foramen, OI = obturator internus, P = piriformis muscle, SGA = superior gluteal artery

Out car traffic accidenct in an 83-year-old woman. A-C. CT scan shows the superior gluteal artery (white arrows) arising from the posterior division of the IIA. The superior gluteal artery exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen (dotted line), above the P. The superficial branch (arrowhead) runs between the G max and the G med muscles. The deep branch (empty arrowhead) runs between the G med and the G min muscles. D, E. A focal, highly attenuated area (black boxs) in the arterial phase increased in size in the delayed phase, mainly in the G max muscle. Injury to the superior gluteal artery was considered as the cause of the active bleeding in the left buttock area. Another active bleeding (asterisks) was mentioned in Fig. 8. F. An angiogram demonstrates active bleeding (black box) from the superior gluteal artery (white arrow). The superior gluteal artery passes the superior portion of the greater sciatic foramen, while the inferior gluteal artery (black arrow) passes the inferior portion of the same foramen. Therefore, the greater sciatic foramen would be located at the dotted circle area. The lateral sacral artery is also visualized (circle). EIA = external iliac artery, G max = gluteus maximus, G med = gluteus medius, G min = gluteus minimus, IIA = internal iliac artery, P = piriformis muscle

Celiac trunk angiogram and superior mesenteric angiogram for transarterial chemoembolization in a 42-year-old man. A. Celiac trunk angiogram shows the gastroduodenal artery (empty arrow) arising from the celiac trunk (arrowhead). B. On the SMA angiogram, the gastroduodenal artery (empty arrow) is visualized in the arterial structure from SMA (arrowhead). This anastomosis between the SMA and the gastroduodenal artery (branch of the celiac trunk) forms an arc of Bühler (arrows).

On the angiogram of the inferior mesenteric artery (black arrow), the marginal artery of Drummond (white arrows) of the left colic artery (white arrowhead) is visualized. Vasa recta (black arrowheads) are visualized as fine straight arteries arising from this marginal artery.

On the aortogram, there is an arterial loop (white arrows) between the middle colic artery (arrowhead) of the SMA and the left colic artery of the IMA (empty arrow). This arc of Riolan (white arrows) runs close to the root of the mesentery as compared to the course of marginal artery of Drummond.
