Abstract
Three common branches of the celiac trunk are the left gastric artery, the splenic artery and the common hepatic artery. The variation of the three branches of the celiac trunk has an importance for the arterial supply to the digestive organs of the upper abdomen. in this study, we present three cases of the gastrosplenic and the hepatomesenteric trunks in Japanese cadavers. Especially, in Case 1, the left inferior phrenic artery arose from the gastrosplenic trunk and the left hepatic artery arose from the left gastric artery. in Cases 2 and 3, the common hepatic artery penetrated the pancreatic parenchyma before reaching liver. in Case 3, the right hepatic artery arose from the hepatomesenteric trunk.
