From: Review of proximal splenic artery embolization in blunt abdominal trauma
32 year old male in a snowmobile verses truck accident. a Celiac DSA after proximal splenic artery embolization with an AMPLATZER™ Plug (black star). Note the dorsal pancreatic artery (thin straight black arrow) originates from the common hepatic artery, a variation that occurs in approximately 20% of cases. Blood from the dorsal pancreatic artery then travels left along the transverse pancreatic artery (thick black arrows). Blood then flows retrograde up the great pancreatic artery (curved black arrow) reconstituting the mid/distal splenic artery (thick white arrow). b Subsequent image shows reconstituted flow in the mid/distal splenic artery (thick white arrow) with opacification of splenic artery branches (thin white arrows)
