  • Title: Rare anatomic variation of left gastric artery and right hepatic artery in a female cadaver.
    Author: Troupis T, Chatzikokolis S, Zachariadis M, Troupis G, Anagnostopoulou S, Skandalakis P.
    Journal: Am Surg; 2008 May; 74(5):430-2. PubMed ID: 18481502.
    Abstract:
    The present report describes a rare case in which the left gastric artery arises directly from the abdominal aorta and the right hepatic artery from the superior mesenteric artery, as observed during the dissection of a female cadaver. The left gastric artery usually rises as one of the three branches of the celiac trunk, which was originally described by Haller in 1756, whereas the right hepatic artery usually originates from the proper hepatic artery. The knowledge of the typical anatomy of the abdominal arteries, and their variations, is especially important due to the numerous interventions performed in the abdominal area.
