Intrapancreatic Common Hepatic Artery Arising From the Superior Mesenteric Artery, a Challenging Anatomic Variation in a Multiorgan Harvesting

A rare variation of the incomplete coeliac trunk

“…2), which has been previously reported only 1 case [14]. Similar variations with a special reference to the hepatomesenteric trunk were reported as Morita's type II' -the hepatosplenomesenteric trunk and the left gastric artery [16] and type IV' -the gastrosplenic trunk and the hepatomesenteric trunk [4][5][6]12]. Furthermore, an unclassified case of the common hepatic artery and inferior mesenteric artery arising from the SMA was also reported [11].…”

Intra pancreatic replaced common hepatic artery: a rare anomaly and its clinical implications

“…A replaced common hepatic artery (CHA) traversing the pancreatic parenchyma is rare. [1][2][3] However, recognition of this has important practical implications in both multi-organ retrieval and pancreatic surgery. In elective pancreatic surgery, it is essential for the surgeon to meticulously trace the arterial anatomy of the celiac axis and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), on preoperative imaging, as such anomalies may not be reported by the radiologist.…”

Conservation d’une artère hépatique intrapancréatique au cours d’une duodénopancréatectomie céphalique

“…De rares cas d'artère hépatique intrapancréatique ont été décrits, au cours de pancréatectomies [1][2][3], ou de prélèvement multi-organe [4]. Il s'agissait généralement d'une artère hépatique droite naissant de l'artère mésentérique supérieure [1,2,4], contrairement à notre cas où il s'agissait d'une artère hépatique unique naissant d'un tronc coelio-mésentérique.…”
