[The anastomotic system of sub-hepatic veins in man]
Bulletin De L'Association Des Anatomistes
|September 1, 1976
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to analyze the possibilities of collateral venous circulation in the liver of man. 100 specimens taken from autopsy, were injected with vinyl-polychloride and corroded. In spite of opinion of some investigators, it has been found that the hepatic veins often (possibly always) anastomose between each other. The largest are the anastomoses between the right and middle hepatic veins. It is evident that there exist good conditions for the venous collateral circulation between all the hepatic veins in the human liver.
