Abstract:
This article describes a triple vascularization of the liver which is not a common vascular anomaly. Dealing with this particular kind of vascularization, we note the following: a main hepatic a. which enters in the right lobe of the liver and two accessory arteries, the right hepatic a. (a branch of the superior mesenteric a.) and left hepatic a. (from the left gastric a.). In the same way, the cystic a. has an unusual origin: the right accessory hepatic artery. The whole hepatic pedicle was dissected, and its branches were described, indicating their relations, length and diameter.
