A hitherto unknown combination of variations of the hepatic arterial supply

Knowledge regarding arterial variations of the abdominal organs is of great importance in visceral surgery and interventional radiology. Here, we describe the combination of an aberrant common hepatic artery from the superior mesenteric artery, an aberrant right hepatic artery from the superior mesenteric artery, and an aberrant left hepatic artery arising from the left gastric artery in a female body donor. The aberrant common hepatic artery provided a middle hepatic artery only. Additionally, we reported a circumaortic variation of the left renal vein. To the best of our knowledge, this specific combination of hepatic artery variations has not been described yet. It is important that clinicians are aware not only of isolated variations but also of their various combinations.

Abstract

Knowledge regarding arterial variations of the abdominal organs is of great importance in visceral surgery and interventional radiology. Here, we describe the combination of an aberrant common hepatic artery from the superior mesenteric artery, an aberrant right hepatic artery from the superior mesenteric artery, and an aberrant left hepatic artery arising from the left gastric artery in a female body donor. The aberrant common hepatic artery provided a middle hepatic artery only. Additionally, we reported a circumaortic variation of the left renal vein. To the best of our knowledge, this specific combination of hepatic artery variations has not been described yet. It is important that clinicians are aware not only of isolated variations but also of their various combinations.
