All roads lead to the liver — a clinical and anatomical case report on an absent proper hepatic artery
A thorough understanding of hepatic arterial anatomy is essential for a variety of surgical interventions, including liver transplantation, hepatic resection, cholecystectomy, and embolization of the right gastric artery. In cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic arteries may also serve as a route for intra-arterial chemotherapy. Therefore, precise knowledge of hepatic vascularization is of critical importance in the diagnosis and treatment of liver pathologies.
