Abstract

The knowledge of anatomical variations in hepatic artery is of importance to surgeons in planning effective therapeutic strategies for general surgery. Apart from the different source and number variations, the unusual course was also discovered during the angiography and anatomical dissection. The present case report shows a rare case in which the common hepatic artery arising from the celiac trunk, crossed the portal vein, positioning itself at the back of this structure, found in a male patient undergoing distal partial gastrectomy.
