superior mesenteric artery

The branches of the suprarenal aorta, celiac axis, and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) also showed more than 90% stenosis with collateral arcades between SMA and IMA.

not from the CHA, and could be from LGA, superior mesenteric artery (SMA) or directly from the aorta.

In rare cases, the stenosis or occlusion of the celiac artery can lead to a compensatory increase in the blood flow through the collateral arteries from the superior mesenteric artery (1-3).

CA, celiac artery; CIA, common iliac artery; AOAR, aortic arch; DAO, descending aorta; SPA, splenic artery; AA, abdominal aorta; LN, lymph node; AAO, ascending aorta; IMA, inferior mesenteric artery; SMA, superior mesenteric artery; RA, renal artery; PA, pulmonary artery.

The left renal vein crosses over the abdominal aorta below the origin of the superior mesenteric artery and drains into the vena cava inferior.

Midgut volvulus is a rare type of malrotation that develops as a result of the rotation of the mesenteric root around the superior mesenteric artery (1).

(1) Displacement of the JJ anastomosis, bowel loops located behind the superior mesenteric artery, and crowding of mesenteric vasculature at the hernia site (among other findings) have been shown to be specific but not very sensitive for diagnosis of internal hernias.

Visceral artery aneurysms originate from the celiac artery, the superior mesenteric artery, the inferior mesenteric artery, and the branches of these arteries (5, 6) and are very rare.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS), which is also known as Wilkie's syndrome because it was described by Wilkie as chronic duodenal ileus in 1927 for the first time, is a life-threatening clinical picture that develops as a result of obstruction of the second or third part of the duodenum compressed between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery (1).

The typical characteristic is anterior nutcracker which involves compression of the LRV by the forking of the aorta and superior mesenteric artery. Rarely, the retroaortic or circumaortic LRV is located between the vertebrae and aorta which is termed posterior nutcracker.
