OLIVEROS VIAMONTES, Georgia; ALMAGUER RODRIGUEZ, Carmen; DURAN MATOS, Mayda  and  GARCIA BARRIOS, Clara. Morphometry and variants of the standard of the arteries involved in irrigation stomach. AMC [online]. 2002, vol.6, n.1, pp.56-67. ISSN 1025-0255.

In this work, the dissection of 40 anatomic pieces of human specie was out, in which anatomy of stomach arteries was described , as well as anatomic variants found thickness morphometry of blood vessels which form the arterial system was performed. It was found the irrigation destined to stomach comes from celiac trunk, either trough primary, secondary or terciary tranks. It was determined that the artery with greater thickeness in the fetus is the common hepatic, in the adult is the lienal artery of vessels that directly irrigate to the organ, the left gastric for the lower curvature and the right gastroepiploic in the large, both emitthing the higher number of short branches to the wall in such curvature. Variants in our material are few and always related with the arterial system of the lower curvature and specifically in the left gastric artery.
