Trifurcated hepatic artery proper with unusual course and termination of right hepatic artery into fossa for gall bladder.

Trifurcated hepatic artery proper with unusual course and termination of right hepatic artery into fossa for gall bladder.

Variant vascular pattern affecting the hepatic artery is well documented. We here report a case of trifurcated hepatic artery proper associated with abnormal course, branching and termination of right hepatic artery. In the present case, hepatic artery proper trifurcated into right, middle and left...
