Abstract

A replaced right hepatic artery (rRHA) arising from the superior mesenteric artery and an interlobar parenchymal bridge over the sagittal fissure of liver have been observed on a 64 year old formalin-fixed male cadaver in the anatomy laboratory.

As we followed a detailed segmental anatomy, encountered an arterial distribution on the segment IV featuring a different pattern from the literature so far. According to our observations, the segment I is supplied by both left (LHA) and middle (MHA) hepatic arteries; the segments II and III are supplied by the LHA while the segment IV is supplied by both the MHA and rRHA.

The segments V-VIII are supplied only by the rRHA. Our case emphasizes the importance of arterial variations of liver once again in terms of the surgical procedures during the liver transplantation, hepatic tumors, and etc.

Our discussion particularly focuses to the arterial supply of the segment IV and possible complications it may cause during/after the liver operations.
