Abstract:Introduction:
It is common for the liver to be supplied blood by a hepatic artery branching off the coeliac trunk. Occasionally, a replaced common hepatic artery (RCHA), emerges from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), can supply the liver in 1.5–4.0% of cases. Computed tomography (CT) angiography is a highly accurate method for identifying arterial anomalies, which may remain undetected until the time of surgery, leading to unexpected complications.
