OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to determine the frequency of different arterial variants identified at abdominal CT angiography (CTA) performed before pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery.

CONCLUSION. Variant hepatic and celiac arterial anatomy is common. CTA can be used to identify common and uncommon variants that are important for the surgical management of patients with pancreatic and hepatobiliary neoplasms.
