A misplaced right hepatic artery may arise from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and a misplaced left hepatic artery may arise from the left gastric artery. The cystic artery generally comes from the right hepatic artery. [1] Other variants of right hepatic artery includes: arising directly from the proximal or middle part of common hepatic ...
When superficial and deep branches of the cystic artery do not share a common origin, it is defined as a double cystic artery occurring with a frequency of 15%.. The deep branch consistently arises from the right hepatic artery which is generally also the source of origin of the superficial branch, however in some cases it has been found to initiate from the anterior segmental artery, middle ...
The cystic artery lies within the hepatobiliary triangle, which is used to locate it during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. [4] [5] It may also contain an accessory right hepatic artery or an anomalous sectoral bile ducts. As a result, dissection in the triangle of Calot is ill-advised until the lateral-most structures have been cleared and ...
hepatic artery proper: supplies the gallbladder via the cystic artery and the liver via the left and right hepatic arteries gastroduodenal artery: branches into the right gastroepiploic artery and superior pancreaticoduodenal artery: right gastric artery: branches to supply the lesser curvature of the stomach inferiorly
In histology (microscopic anatomy), the lobules of liver, or hepatic lobules, are small divisions of the liver defined at the microscopic scale. The hepatic lobule is a building block of the liver tissue , consisting of portal triads, hepatocytes arranged in linear cords between a capillary network, and a central vein .
Origin. In most (53%) individuals, the RGA arises from the proper hepatic artery. It can also arise from the region of division of the common hepatic artery (20%), the left branch of the hepatic artery (15%), the gastroduodenal artery (8%), and - most rarely - the common hepatic artery itself (4%).
It is formed by the union of the right hepatic duct (which drains bile from the right functional lobe of the liver) and the left hepatic duct (which drains bile from the left functional lobe of the liver). [3] The duct is about 3 cm long. [4] The common hepatic duct is about 6 mm in diameter in adults, with some variation. [5]
Hepatic artery thrombosis is the most common complication that occurs after liver transplantation. [2] Hepatic artery thrombosis may also occur after other surgeries. [2] Hepatic artery thrombosis and primary non-function are the two most common reason that a transplanted liver fails to work (graft failure). [3]
