Hepatic artery proper
The
hepatic artery proper
(also
proper hepatic artery
), arises from the
common hepatic artery
and runs alongside the
portal vein
and the
common bile duct
to form the
portal triad
. A branch of the common hepatic artery –the
gastroduodenal artery
gives off the small
supraduodenal artery
to the
duodenal bulb
. Then the
right gastric artery
comes off and runs to the left along the lesser curvature of the stomach to meet the
left gastric artery
, which is a branch of the
celiac trunk
. It subsequently bifurcates into the right and left hepatic arteries. Of note, the right and left hepatic arteries may demonstrate
variant anatomy
. A misplaced right hepatic artery may arise from the
superior mesenteric artery
(SMA) and a misplaced left hepatic artery may arise from the
left gastric artery
. The
cystic artery
generally comes off of the right hepatic artery.
