Abstract
We report one case of replaced right hepatic artery coursing ventral to the portal
vein. This variation, which was demonstrated by 64-row CT angiography and three-dimensional
reformatted images, has never been reported. Surgeons involved in hepatic and biliopancreatic
procedures should be aware of this possible variation, which has important surgical
implications.
