The common hepatic artery is a short blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the liver, pylorus of the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, and gallbladder. [citation needed] It arises from the celiac artery [1] and has the following branches: [2]
Hepatic microvascular dysplasia (HMD or MVD) or portal atresia is a disorder where mixing of venous blood and arterial blood in the liver occurs at the microscopic level. It occurs most commonly in certain dog breeds such as the Cairn and Yorkshire terriers although any dog breed may be at risk. [1] [2] [3] This disease may also be found in cats.
The supraduodenal artery are 1-2 [1] small [1] [2] arteries which usually [3] arise from the gastroduodenal artery, [2] [3] and sometimes from the posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, [3] or common hepatic artery. [1] They provide arterial supply to the anterosuperior portion of the proximal duodenum. [3]
The hepatoduodenal ligament is the portion of the lesser omentum extending between the porta hepatis of the liver and the superior part of the duodenum. [citation needed] Running inside it are the following structures collectively known as the portal triad: [1] hepatic artery proper; portal vein; common bile duct
The cystic artery generally comes from the right hepatic artery. [1] Other variants of right hepatic artery includes: arising directly from the proximal or middle part of common hepatic artery, gastroduodenal artery, superior mesenteric artery, celiac axis, aorta, splenic artery, or left gastric artery instead of arising from proper hepatic ...
The hepatic vein subsequently drains into the inferior vena cava. The hepatic artery provides 30 to 40% of the oxygen to the liver, while only accounting for 25% of the total liver blood flow. The rest comes from the partially deoxygenated blood from the portal vein. The liver consumes about 20% of the total body oxygen when at rest.
