Figure 3. A schematic illustration of the normal branching pattern of celiac trunk and blood supply of the liver vs the anomalous blood supply of the liver. (A) An illustrative diagram of the normal branching pattern of the celiac artery which provides almost exclusively the arterial blood to the liver through its common hepatic artery. (B) An illustrative diagram of the anomalous pattern where there is an accessory hepatic artery derived from the superior mesenteric artery. The entire course of the accessory right hepatic is highlighted in magenta asterixis. These original drawings were created by senior author Dr. Adel Maklad for this manuscript. CA – celiac artery; CBD – common bile duct; CHD – common hepatic duct; GDA – gastroduodenal artery; GB – gallbladder; LGA – left gastric artery; LHA – left hepatic artery; PHA – proper hepatic artery; PV – portal vein; RGA – right gastric artery; RHA – right hepatic artery.
