The Effects of Arterial Disease upon the Pancreas

  • Chapter

  • 118 Accesses

Abstract

The pancreas receives a generous supply of arterial blood, which is not surprising, because of the important exocrine and endocrine functions of the gland. The arteries that supply the pancreas can show a certain amount of anatomical variation and are liable to be affected by certain congenital or acquired defects that are rare, but which may have catastrophic effects. Both the arteries and arterioles of the pancreas are vulnerable to the effects of systemic hypertension and arteriosclerosis. The latter effects may be of importance in the aetiology of diabetes mellitus of the maturity-onset type, and of acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis, while true infarcts of the pancreas may occur in the malignant type of essential hypertension, certain cases of glomerulonephritis with hypertension, and some cases of periarteritis nodosa.
