Figure 1. Dissected celiac artery. (A) A photograph of the region of the lesser omentum between the liver and stomach. The lesser omentum was removed revealing 2 branches of the celiac artery – the common hepatic (CHA) and left gastric (LGA). After the CHA gave its gastroduodenal artery, it became the proper hepatic artery, which gave the right gastric artery before it divided into right and left hepatic arteries (RHA and LHA), respectively. Other structures in the portal triad are also shown, including the common bile duct (CBD) and hepatic portal vein (HPV). (B) A higher magnification of Figure 1A with a focus on the portal triad, where the proper hepatic artery, common bile duct, and hepatic portal vein run. Note that the accessory right hepatic artery (ARHA) appears in the gap between the HPV and the CHD while being behind both structures. AA – abdominal aorta; ARHA – accessory right hepatic artery; CBD – common bile duct; CD – cystic duct; CHA – common hepatic artery; CHD – common hepatic duct; CL – caudate lobe of the liver; HPV – hepatic portal vein; IVC – inferior vena cava; LGA – left gastric artery; LHA – left hepatic artery; PHA – proper hepatic artery; RHA – right hepatic artery.
