Concurrent anomalies of the abdominal arteries: an extremely long coeliac trunk, an inferior phrenic trunk, and an aberrant right hepatic artery

Abstract

We present a case in which the branching pattern of the abdominal arteries contains multiple variations that to date have not been reported together. The anomalies encountered include an extremely long coeliac trunk, an inferior phrenic trunk (as one of the branches of the coeliac trunk) and an aberrant (replaced) right hepatic artery derived from the superior mesenteric artery.
