2 most common hepatic artery variants
right hepatic replaced off the SMA and left hepatic replaced off the left gastric
Is there normally a vessel in the ligamentum venosum?
No, it s an accessory or replaced left hepatic arising from the left gastric
How do you tell if it s a replaced right hepatic?
Proper right hepatic is anterior to right portal vein. Replaced right hepatic is posterior to the main PV
