Hepatic artery variations studied on cadavers and its relevance in medical practice
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Anatomical variations of Hepatic artery are known to occur in 25-50% of the total population. Deviations of the normal hepatic arterial pattern are not rare. Knowledge of these variations play clinically significant role in surgical and radiological interventional procedures. The variations in the hepatic arterial pattern were studied with meticulous dissection and observation, on total 60 adult embalmed cadavers of both sexes. Normal Hepatic arterial pattern was observed in 50 cadavers. Accessory right hepatic artery originating from the superior mesenteric artery in 5 cadavers and it was the most common variation. Other variation found was replaced or accessory left hepatic artery arising from the left gastric artery in 4 cadavers and right and left accessory hepatic arteries arising from the superior mesenteric and left gastric arteries respectively in 1 cadaver.
