[X-ray anatomy of the inferior mesenteric artery according to findings of intravital angiography].
The article describes the results of roentgenological analysis of 905 patients having no pathological manifestations in the basin of the inferior mesenteric artery. The percutaneous catheterization of the aorta after Seldinger was made in all the patients. The authors have established that the typical variant of the artery is characterized by its appearance at the level of the third lumbar vertebrum body, by the branching of the trunk downwards to the left at an angle of 26,6 degrees +/- 0,2 (6-6,31 degrees) and by the main type of branching. The described rentgenological features of the vessel are helpful for the correct recognizing of the vessel in angiograms made in clinical conditions. The authors are likely to be the first to distinguish 10 variations of the branching of the inferior mesenteric artery and to give a detailed information on projection relationships of this vessel.
