Total anomalous arterial supply to the liver and gallbladder from the gastroduodenal artery: a case report.
Anomalous arteries to the liver are not uncommon and usually arise from the superior mesenteric artery, the left gastric artery or directly from the aorta. We report a case of total replacement of the arteries to the right and left liver by separate right and left hepatic arteries arising from the gastroduodenal artery. The proper hepatic artery was absent. The gallbladder was supplied from the anomalous right hepatic artery.
