Abstract
The AMCA contributes to the vascularization of the splenic flexure in approximately 25% of individuals, and may be an important feeder artery to SFCs, especially in the absence of a LCA. Preoperative identification of this artery is important to ensure optimal surgery for SFC and minimize complications.
