ABSTRACT:

Knowledge regarding the hepatic vasculature is important for the planning of hepatic surgeries, liver transplant surgeries and also the gall bladder surgeries. The presence of variation in the hepatic vasculature sometimes may result in the postoperative complications such as bleeding. In the present case report, there was a coexistence of left accessory hepatic artery arising from the left gastric artery and the cystic artery arising from the hepatic artery proper.  This vascular variation in coexistence is rare to find and is of foremost important for clinicians, surgeons, radiologist, and anatomists.

KEY WORDS: hepatic artery, accessory, liver, cystic artery.
