Abstract Purpose To evaluate the morphology and course of the splenic artery, which might impact the surgical implantation of systems that stimulate the nerves surrounding the splenic artery. Experimental studies indicate that these nerves play an important part in immune modulation, and might be a potential target in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Methods This retrospective cohort study made use of contrast-enhanced CT images from 40 male and 40 female patients (age 30–69) that underwent a CT examination of the aorta, kidneys or pancreas. Anatomic features were described including total splenic artery length, calibers, tortuosity, the presence of arterial loops and the branching pattern of the splenic artery. Results No age-gender-related differences could be found related to tortuosity or branching pattern. The length of splenic artery in contact with pancreatic tissue decreased with increasing age, but was not different between genders. Artery diameters were wider in male compared to female subjects. Loops of variable directions, that represent a part of the artery that curls out of the pancreatic tissue, were identified in each age-gender category and were present in nearly all subjects (86%). Conclusion This study suggests that although some anatomic features of the splenic artery are subject to factors as age and gender, the tortuosity of the splenic artery is not age dependent. Most subjects had one or multiple loops, which can serve as a target for neuromodulatory devices. Future studies should investigate whether splenic nerve stimulation is safe and feasible.

Background: Splenic artery is the largest branch of the celiac trunk in adults and is the second-largest next to the common hepatic artery in fetal life. The present study was conducted to assess variation in the branching pattern of the splenic artery. Subjects and Methods: The present cadaveric study was conducted on 54 cadavers embalmed with 10% formalin. The peritoneal cavity was opened and explored. The celiac trunk, splenic artery and its branches were noted and photographed. Results: out of 54 cadavers, 26 were males and 28 were males. The origin of the splenic artery was from the celiac trunk in 47, a superior mesenteric artery in 4 and abdominal aorta in 3 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that surgeons should have a thorough knowledge regarding the branching pattern of the splenic artery. There was variation in the origin of the splenic artery such as from celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery and abdominal aorta.

Background: Introduction of laparoscopic surgical methods requires exact knowledge of the topography of the spleen and its surrounding. Further advances in splenic conservative surgery are dependent on better knowledge of vascular anatomy of the spleen. Hence segmental arteries of spleen are of great surgical importance and their early identification in splenic trauma will lead to enhanced splenic conservation. Materials and methods: Present study carried out on 50 human spleen by dissection, silicon injection and radiological methods. We found different types of variations in hilar and segmental branching pattern of splenic artery. Observations and Results: in present study splenic artery divided in two primary branches in 86% and in three primary branches in14% of the spleens. superior polar branches were found in 44% while inferior polar branches were in 52% of the spleens. Two segmental branches found in 24%, three segmental found in 50%, four segmental in 18% and five segmental in 8% of the specimens. Intersegmental anastomosis found in 2% of spleens. Discussion: These segmental resection of spleen and further advances in splenic conservation are dependant on better understanding of vascular anatomy of the spleen.
