A 68-year-old woman had a solitary 12.0 cm hepatic cyst with a septum. The cyst was located near the hepatic hilum and she presented with obstructive jaundice caused by compression of the hilar bile duct. Stenosis of the common hepatic duct was detected at the porta hepatis on endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC), and encasement of the right hepatic artery at the same level was revealed ...

Introduction: Normal hepatic vascular anatomy and its variants carry considerable importance during liver transplants, laparoscopic surgeries, penetrating abdominal trauma, radiological interventions. The occurrence of iatrogenic injury increases in case atypical variations. Aim: To determine the prevalence common artery portal vein by using Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT). Materials M...

Hepatic artery thrombosis represents a potentially deadly complication after a liver transplant. Portal vein arterialization recently has been proposed as a bridge approach in patients with hepatic artery thrombosis needing a retransplant. We report the case of a 53-year-old man treated with a liver transplant for a cryptogenetic cirrhosis. One month after a liver transplant, a hepatic artery t...

Introduction The abdominal aorta begins at 12th thoracic vertebra, and it descends anterior to the lumbar vertebrae, and bifurcates at the 4th lumbal vertebral body. It supplies all the abdominal organs, abdominal walls, gonads, and lower extremity [1]. In the usual vasculature, celiac trunk is divided into three branches: common hepatic artery (CHA), splenic artery (SA), and left gastric arter...

Knowledge of the variant vascular anatomy of the subhepatic region is important for hepatobiliary surgeons in limiting operative complications due to unexpected bleeding. The pattern of arterial blood supply of 102 gallbladders was studied by gross dissection. The cystic artery originated from the right hepatic artery in 92.2% of cases. The rest were aberrant and originated from the proper hepa...

PURPOSE This study demonstrated invasive and reproducible hepatic artery catheterization in rats. A rigorously documented guide and pictorial essay describes the performance of an invasive hepatic artery catheterization technique suitable for the study of liver-targeted interventional procedures in rodent models of liver cancer. The goal was to produce a well-illustrated guide to hepatic artery...

Hepatic artery aneurysm was firstly described at autopsy in 1809. It can present as a duodenal submucosal lesion caused by extra-luminal compression. Most cases of common hepatic artery aneurysms with external compression of duodenum are asymptomatic until rupture with intestinal hemorrhage. Such cases had been reported with poor prognosis if diagnosis and treatment were delayed. Hence, the man...

Microvascular surgery for the reconstruction of the hepatic artery in living donor liver transplantation is discussed from the microsurgeon's point of view. A refined operative procedure to improve the safety of the anastomosis is described. In living donor liver transplantation, the hepatic artery of the graft is short and small, the operative site is deep and mobile, and the anatomic arrangem...

Aim: The aim of this prospective study was to determine and compare the various parameters and indices of portal vein, hepatic artery and splenic artery by sonographic Doppler imaging in chronic hepatitis C patients and healthy individuals.Methods: 45 Chronic Hepatitis C patients and 90 Healthy adults formed two groups. All participants underwent color Doppler imaging of the portal vein, hepati...
