Variant arterial supply to the lesser curvature of the stomach and duodenum from double inferior phrenic arteries.
A rare case of the left accessory inferior phrenic artery (IPA) supplying the lesser curvature of the stomach and the right accessory IPA supplying the duodenum was observed during interventional radiography. To our knowledge, variation arteries supplying the stomach and duodenum have never been reported in English literature; herein, we report the first case of variant arterial supply to the lesser curvature of the stomach and duodenum from double IPAs.
