Purpose: With the advances in the new image techniques and 3D modeling, angiography computed tomography (A-CT) has become a very useful image to study vessels. Prevalence of Celiac Trunk (CeT) variations is common, and have a clinical relevance in preoperative planning. Our objective was to describe prevalence of CeT variations in a study population in Cali, Colombia. Methods: A retrospective study with a database was made from a selection of A-CT 3D images from January 1, 2012 to September 30, 2014, from which the CeT could be visualized. Patients under 18 were excluded, also with no 3D A-CT, or not Colombian. Frequencies, percentages were calculated using Excel and STATA software. Results: A total of 252 patients were selected, from which 10 were excluded. The most common causes of performing the A-CT were pathologies of the Aorta, followed by studies for transplantation of the kidney or liver. Variations were found in 71 (30%) patients. The most common variation was the origin of the inferior phrenic artery from the CeT in 43 (60%) patients, followed by accessories arteries to the liver in 11 (15%) patients, and the presence of a hepato-splenic trunk in 8 (11%) patients. Conclusion: Prevalence of CeT variations in our study population was higher than that reported in other studies. The use of image techniques, such as 3D A-CT, could help the surgeon or the interventional radiologist identify these variations, preventing catastrophic complications, and making safer surgeries for our patients. Introduction The celiac artery or most known as the celiac trunk (CeT) is the major visceral artery in the abdominal cavity supplying major abdominal organs including: the liver, the gallbladder, the spleen, the pancreas, and from the esophagus to the duodenum [1]. Variations are defined as all other different anatomy compared to the classical division [2-4]. Cadaveric and radiological studies have reported a prevalence of CeT variations ranging from 10-12% [2-4]. None of these have been made in low-income countries.
