Esophageal branches of left gastric artery
Esophageal Branches of Left Gastric Artery
The Esophageal branches of left gastric artery are small arterial branches that supply blood to the esophagus. They originate from the left gastric artery, which is a branch of the celiac trunk.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The esophageal branches of the left gastric artery typically arise from the left aspect of the left gastric artery. They course towards the esophagus, supplying the lesser curvature of the stomach and the abdominal part of the esophagus. These branches may vary in number and size.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Understanding the anatomy of the esophageal branches of the left gastric artery is crucial in surgical procedures involving the stomach and esophagus, such as gastrectomy and esophagectomy. Damage to these arteries during surgery can lead to complications such as esophageal necrosis.
