Abstract:
The accessory hepatic artery was found in 12 human livers and its intrahepatic territory was investigated. The artery supplies an entire lobe or more without joining the usual hepatic artery in 93% of the cases. The accessory hepatic artery has an important significance for the arterial supply of the liver.
