Malviya KK, Verma A. Importance of Anatomical Variation of the Hepatic Artery for Complicated Liver and Pancreatic Surgeries: A Review Emphasizing Origin and Branching. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13071233. [PMID: 37046451 PMCID: PMC10093498 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13071233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Knowledge of anatomical variations of the hepatic artery from its origin to intrahepatic segmentation is of utmost importance for planning upper abdominal surgeries including liver transplantation, pancreatoduodenectomy, and biliary reconstruction. The origin and branching pattern of the hepatic artery was thoroughly described by the classification of Michels and Hiatt. Some rare variations of the hepatic artery were classified by Kobayashi and Koops. By the use of the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) technique, the branching pattern of the hepatic artery can be visualized quite accurately. Unawareness of these arterial variations may lead to intraoperative injuries such as necrosis, abscess, and failure of the liver and pancreas. The origin and course of the aberrant hepatic arteries are crucial in the surgical planning of carcinoma of the head of the pancreas and hepatobiliary surgeries. In liver transplant surgeries, to minimize intraoperative bleeding complications and postoperative thrombosis, exact anatomy of the branching of the hepatic artery, its variations and intrahepatic course is of utmost importance. This review discusses variations in the anatomy of the hepatic artery from its origin to branching by the use of advanced imaging techniques and its effect on the liver, pancreatic, biliary and gastric surgeries.

Prolonged operating time is a significant perioperative risk factor for arterial pseudoaneurysm formation and patient death following hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pancreatology 2020; 20:1540-1549. [PMID: 32943343 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2020.08.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2020] [Revised: 08/28/2020] [Accepted: 08/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arterial pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially fatal complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and predictors associated with pseudoaneurysm formation and patient death caused by its rupture. PATIENTS AND METHOD We retrospectively reviewed the data of 453 patients who underwent PD from April 2007 to February 2019. Uni- and multivariate analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to identify risk factors and optimal cutoff values. RESULTS Among the 453 patients, 22 (4.9%) developed pseudoaneurysm after PD. Median duration from surgery to detection of pseudoaneurysm was 17.0 (1-51) days. The locations of pseudoaneurysms were hepatic artery in 8, splenic artery in 3, gastroduodenal artery in 4, gastric artery in 2 and others in 5 patients, and 72.7% (16/22) of patients presented with hemorrhage. All pseudoaneurysms were treated using angioembolization. Lower age (<65.5 years, p = 0.004), prolonged operation time (Cutoff ˃610 min, p = 0.026) and postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) (p = 0.013) were the independent risk factors for development of pseudoaneurysm. 6 (27.3%) patients died due to rupture of pseudoaneurysm and prolonged operation time (Cutoff ˃657 min, p = 0.043) was a significant risk factor for death related to pseudoaneurysm. CONCLUSION Prolonged operating time was identified as a risk factor for both pseudoaneurysm formation and patient death following pseudoaneurysm bleeding. Interventional radiology treatment offered a central role in the treatment of pseudoaneurysms after PD. Therefore, it is important to have a high index of suspicion in high risk patients of the possibility of pseudoaneurysm formation and bleeding.
