  Background: Normally, in 50%-55% of individuals the common hepatic artery arises from coeliac trunk and divides into right gastric, gastro duodenal and continues as proper hepatic artery. However it has been observed that 40%-45% variations in anatomical features of common hepatic arterial system in humans. The major changes occur in the origin of common hepatic artery seen in individuals: Arising from aorta (2%), may arise from superior mesenteric artery (2%), trifurcates into right hepatic, left hepatic, gastroduodenal arterys without giving proper hepatic artery (6%). Findings: In our cadaveric study, while tracing out the hepatic arterial system we observed that the common hepatic artery has been raised from superior mesenteric artery. We found that accessory hepatic artery was arising from coeliac trunk instead of common hepatic artery... Read More»
