The Surgical Anatomy of the Coronary and the Inferior Mesenteric Veins by the Injection-Corrosion Method

Department of Anatomy, Athens University School of Medicine, Athens, Greece, The George Washington University Medical Center, Washington, D.C.

The surgical anatomy of the coronary and the inferior mesenteric veins has been studied in situ and after injection-corrosion casts in 50 embalmed human cadavers, in view of the recent use of these veins occasionally as alternative methods of portal-systemic shunts. Parameters studied and not included in the conventional description of these veins are discussed from the surgical point of view and patterns for their variational anatomy are proposed.
