Figure 1. Celiac artery catheterization via umbilical arteries.

Figure 1

(A) In newborns, celiac artery can be reached by placing a catheter (arrow, green) into the umbilical arteries, which connect to the aorta. The catheter is then advanced to the celiac artery. (1) aorta; (2) right iliac artery; (3) umbilical cord (1 vein and two arteries); (4) pancreas; (5) hepatic artery; (6) splenic artery; (7) celiac artery with catheter; (8) umbilical artery; (9) left femoral artery. (B) Angiography confirming cannulation of the celiac artery (arrows). Vector or vehicle was injected and the catheter was flushed with normal saline.
