Anatomical variations of the arterial branches from the rat iliac arteries

Animal disease models contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of human and animal diseases and help develop treatments for them. Ligation of the rat iliac arteries is performed to reproduce erectile dysfunction and peripheral arterial disease. Although knowledge of the rami...

description Animal disease models contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of human and animal diseases and help develop treatments for them. Ligation of the rat iliac arteries is performed to reproduce erectile dysfunction and peripheral arterial disease. Although knowledge of the ramification of branches from the rat iliac artery is important to perform such surgery, descriptions in previous studies are insufficient. Therefore, 17 male and 18 female Wistar rats were observed to elucidate the detailed ramification patterns of branches from the iliac arteries with the latex injection method. The iliac arteries branched off the umbilical, cranial gluteal, lateral and medial circumflex femoral, external pudendal, and caudal epigastric arteries, and the common trunk of the caudal gluteal and internal pudendal arteries. The branching pattern of the umbilical, cranial and caudal gluteal, and internal pudendal arteries varied greatly and was categorized as Types 1 to 3 based on the number of branching levels along the proximodistal axis of the iliac arteries. Based on the same criteria, the ramification patterns of the lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries were also divided into Groups 1 and 2. The external pudendal and caudal epigastric arteries originated from the external iliac artery mainly as a common trunk or less frequently as independent arteries in this order. The detailed branching patterns of the rat iliac arteries elucidated in the present study are beneficial for the refinement of surgical procedures.
