Aberrant course of right hepatic artery - A case report
Author(s): Rohith Muddasetty and Dhanushree Jayaramaiah
Abstract: Cholelithiasis is one of the commonly encountered ailments among the surgeons. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice in the presence of the symptoms. Although a safe surgery, risk of hemorrhage, bile leaks and conversion to open procedure due to several reasons are not uncommon. Presence of variant arterial anatomy is seen on 16.8% of the patients. Here we report a case where there was a aberrant right hepatic artery coursing along the gall bladder wall to reach the liver. It was identified because of its in appropriate caliber to be a cystic artery. Further dissection of the artery was carried out to delineate its course reaching the liver in the gall bladder fossa. Had it been clipped assuming it to be a cystic artery, right lobe of liver would have been devoid of arterial supply leading to potential complications like ischemic hepatic necrosis.
