In 90% of the cases there was no change in CT, 8.3% of the patients had hepatosplenic trunk and 1.7% had the hepatogastric trunk. |

The results were divided into celiac trunk type I (complete) in 90.5% of the sample and celiac trunk type II (incomplete) in 9.5% of the sample. In type I, the trunk was bifurcated, trifurcated or quadfurcated, in the latter, with accessory branch. Those of the incomplete type presented hepatosplenic or gastroesplenic divisions. |

In 89.8% of the cases, classical trifurcation of the celiac trunk was observed. A common hepatosplenic trunk and a gastrohepatic trunk were observed in 4.4%. A common hepatic artery resulting from the superior mesenteric artery or directly from the aorta was present in 3.5%. A hepatosplenomesenteric trunk and a celio-mesenteric trunk were found in 0.7%. |

Corpse dissection |
The gastric, hepatic and splenic arteries appeared from the celiac trunk in 86% of the corpses. In 76% the origin of the gastric artery was proximal to the bifurcation of the celiac trunk, in the hepatic and common splenic artery. In one case, the three branches emerged directly from the abdominal aorta. |

Corpse dissection |
In 67.90% of the sample, the left gastric artery was verified as the first branch of the celiac trunk, the splenic artery in 7.41% and in 22.22% in the three arteries forming the Haller tripod. It was observed as the last branch of the celiac trunk, the common hepatic artery in 19.12%, the splenic in 5.88%. In 82.02% the celiac trunk emitted the gastric, splenic and hepatic arteries, in addition to the three arteries, the celiac trunk emitted a gastroduodenal artery in 6.74%. The gastrosplenic trunk was observed in 3.37%, the common hepatic as the sole branch in 1.12% and in 1.12% absence of the celiac trunk. |

Of the 21 cadavers, 6 (28.57%) presented anatomical variations of at least one of the branches of the celiac trunk, being the absence of the hepatic artery itself, the middle colic artery originating in the celiac trunk, the left gastric artery having origin in the abdominal aorta, the right hepatic artery originating in the superior mesenteric artery and two trunks that emerged from the abdominal aorta, a gastroesplenic and another hepatomesenteric. |

Computed tomography |
A variation in the origin site of the celiac trunk was observed in 55% of the cases. In 45.83%, the celiac trunk originated from the junction of T12-L1, in 29.17% it originated in front of the T12 vertebra, 22.92% in front of the L1 vertebra and at the junction of T11-T12 2, 08%. The length varied between 6 mm and 22 mm, and the dimensions of the trunk ranged from 4 mm to 10 mm. |

Corpse dissection |
There was an incomplete celiac trunk, the hepatosplenic trunk from which the common hepatic artery and the splenic artery arise. The left gastric artery appears separately 0.5 cm from the origin of the celiac trunk, directly from the abdominal aorta. |

There was a trifurcation in the celiac trunk in 89% and bifurcation in 8% of the cases. The celiac trunk was absent in 1%, a hepatosplenomesenteric trunk was observed in 1% and a splenomasenteric trunk was present in 1%. |

Digital subtraction angiography |
There was a classic trifurcation of the celiac trunk in 62.5% of the patients. The variant right hepatic artery arose from the superior mesenteric artery in 17.8%. The hepatic artery as branch of the left gastric artery in 13.1%. The common hepatic artery resulting from the superior mesenteric branch was observed in 6.6% of the patients. |
