The routine dissection of a male body revealed multiple anatomical variations of the celiac trunk and hepatic artery vascularization. The origin of the celiac trunk was on the left side of the abdominal aorta, next to the T12-L1 intervertebral disk. The celiac trunk gave off five branches: the left inferior phrenic artery, the left gastric artery, the accessory right hepatic artery, the common ...

The uptake of (125)I albumin microaggregates (U-(125)I-AMA) from portal blood, during a single passage through the hepatic reticuloendothelial system, has been found to be generally decreased in cirrhosis. To investigate if a similar phenomenon occurs for the colloid flowing through the hepatic artery, the U-(125)I-AMA was first calculated in normal dogs after injection of a mixture of (51)Cr r...

Obstructive jaundice by vascular compression is extremely rare. Luttwak and Schwartz first described jaundice due to an obstruction of the common hepatic duct by an aberrant artery.1 Compression of extrahepatic bile duct (EBD) by right hepatic artery was defined as right hepatic artery syndrome. We present here a rare case of asymptomatic biliary obstruction due to compression of the common bil...

We herein report a case of hemobilia caused by a hepatic artery aneurysm. A 40-year-old male patient with a history of Behçet's disease with a thrombus hanging out of the papilla of Vater had a large hepatic aneurysm in angiography. The hepatic artery feeding the aneurysm was embolized. Endovascular treatment can treat patients with hepatic artery aneurysms caused by Behçet's disease.

Anatomical variations of hepatic arteries may be problematic in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We experienced pancreatic head cancer in a patient with rare variation of hepatic artery and performed PD successfully with the resection of this artery. A 75-year-old woman showed pancreatic head tumor on CT. Preoperative CT detected rare variation of hepatic artery; posterior segmental branch of righ...

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous transhepatic portal embolization is often performed to expand the indications for hepatic resection. Various etiologies of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm have been reported, but regardless of the etiology, hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is usually managed with an endovascular approach or open surgery, depending on the location and clinical symptomatology. However, it is ...

Performing resection of a biliary tract malignancy with a hepatic artery aneurysm is very challenging. Resection of the extrahepatic bile duct and extra-anatomical reconstruction can be successfully performed using free radial artery autografts from the aorta to the right hepatic artery. Hepatic artery thrombosis can be prevented with intimal preservation.

CCIDENTAL INTERRUPTION of the hepatic A artery or one of its branches is a feared surgicaI compIication. AIthough vascuIar repair may be feasibIe, the in jury is frequentIy so extensive that arteriaI reconstruction is not possibIe. In this situation, accurate knowIedge of the consequences of Iigation of the hepatic artery wouId be desirabIe. In the dog and other experimentaI animaIs, hepatic ar...

The hepatic artery aneurysms are rare, especially in interahepatic branches. The frequency consists of 75-80% extrahepatic and 20-25% intrahepatic. Catheterization is achieved usually from common femoral artery, other methods implemented in the case of unsuccessful catheterization from femoral artery, are translumbar and brachial catheterization.The study consist of 565 patients that were refer...
