2023年10月30日 · Along its course, the splenic artery is accompanied by the splenic vein, which drains into the hepatic portal vein. Along its course, the splenic artery gives off several branches before entering the hilum of the spleen and dividing into its terminal branches. The pancreatic branches of the splenic artery arise from its proximal portion.

2024年9月30日 · Your splenic artery delivers oxygen-rich blood to your spleen, while your splenic vein takes used blood away from your spleen to your liver for processing. Basically, your artery brings in fresh blood, and your vein carries out your old blood.

Pancreatic cancers that invade these nearby vessels (called the celiac artery, the portal vein, and the superior mesenteric artery and vein) are referred to as either “border-line resectable” or “locally advanced”. Pancreatic cancers in these categories are challenging to treat.

2023年10月30日 · From its origin site, the splenic vein runs horizontally toward the midline, below the accompanying splenic artery and deep to the tail and body of the pancreas. As it courses over the upper posterior abdominal wall, the splenic vein passes anterior to the left kidney, renal hilum and left renal vessels.

2024年9月20日 · It is a tortuous artery, running superior to the pancreas before turning forward into the splenorenal ligament to the hilum of the spleen. The splenic vein accompanies it inferoposteriorly. Near the splenic hilum the splenic artery gives off a superior polar branch before dividing into superior and inferior terminal branches or lobar branches ...

The splenic artery passes between the layers of the lienorenal ligament. Along its course, it is accompanied by a similarly named vein, the splenic vein, which drains into the hepatic portal vein.

2024年10月3日 · The splenic vein is formed by splenic tributaries emerging at the splenic hilum in the splenorenal ligament at the tip of the tail of pancreas. It runs in the splenorenal ligament in close association with the splenic artery .

In human anatomy, the splenic vein (formerly the lienal vein) is a blood vessel that drains blood from the spleen, the stomach fundus and part of the pancreas. It is part of the hepatic portal system.

2023年7月24日 · As previously mentioned, the spleen is an organ of high vascularity. The splenic artery primarily supplies the organ arterially, entering the splenic hilum near the middle of the visceral surface.

Results: The analysis of the splenic artery trajectory led to identification of four types: straight (43.03%), sinusoidal (27.58%), serpentine (20.91%) and alternating (8.48%). To assess the relation between the trajectory of the splenic artery and its branches we performed a …
