Fig. 3. —26-year-old man with normal liver function who was candidate for right-lobe liver donation. Maximum-intensity-projection CT scan obtained in oblique plane shows common hepatic artery branching to gastroduodenal artery (g), from which right posterior hepatic artery (rp) arises and continues as right hepatic artery. Right hepatic artery is short, and it gives rise to right anterior hepatic artery (ra) and then branches into left (lh) and middle (mh) hepatic arteries. In this static image, right posterior hepatic artery appears connected to right anterior hepatic artery, but no connection was evident on other projections. Because hemihepatectomy and transplantation would have required extensive arterial surgery, another more suitable candidate was found.
