A rare anatomic variation of an accessory right hepatic artery arising from the right inferior phrenic artery: A case report and review of literature
Living donor liver transplantation is a vital option for patients with limited access to deceased donor organs, but its success depends heavily on meticulous preoperative planning and an understanding of vascular anatomy. We present a rare case of hepatic arterial variations with an accessory right hepatic artery originating from the right inferior phrenic artery. Awareness of such anomalies is essential for transplant surgeons and radiologists to ensure optimal graft selection, minimize surgical complications, and improve both donor and recipient outcomes.
