Variations of hepatic circulation in two human cadavers with clinical implications
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomical Variations - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Two rare variations of hepatic vasculature were discovered during routine anatomical dissection in the gross anatomy laboratory at Rush University. The first case is that of an 82-year-old female with the left hepatic artery as a branch of the left gastric artery. The right lobe of the liver was supplied by the right hepatic, in turn from the common hepatic artery, as normal. The second case is that of a 95-year-old male with an accessory right hepatic artery that arose directly from the celiac trunk. The accessory right hepatic artery coursed posterior to the portal triad, giving off the cystic artery on its way to the right lobe of the liver. The cystic artery was located in Calot’s triangle as normal, however it coursed posterior in the sagittal plane. Knowledge of variations in vasculature to the liver is of great importance to hepatobiliary surgeons and both diagnostic and interventional radiologists.
