Hepatobiliary and gastric surgery greatly depend upon knowledge and recognition of origin, relations and course of the hepatic artery. This paper presents the main variants of the arterial vessels in the hepatoduodenal ligament, with a concise review on their clinical relevance. Special attention was drawn to the aberrant hepatic arteries, which are found in nearly half of the cases, and to the macro- and microvasculature of the common bile duct.
