Aberrant hepatic artery: A potential cause for error in the angiographic diagnosis of traumatic liver hematoma

Abstract: In a patient undergoing selective hepatic arteriography for suspected liver trauma, a nonopacified area of the liver, initially thought to represent a hepatic hematoma, was later discovered to be due to the presence of an accessory right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery. This case illustrates the need for a search for aberrant vasculature whenever a liver hematoma is suspected on the basis of a selective hepatic arteriogram.

“…Similar recent reports highlight the importance of the hepatic arteries knowledge in rebuilding the arteries during liver transplantation [12]. Respectively, this knowledge is extended to the diagnosis of liver hematoma [13]. Likewise, the significance of vasculature is critical for surgical procedures; removal of the pancreas or small intestine.…”
