Case Discussion
Right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery is one of the common variants of hepatic vasculature, and is classified as type III under Michel's classification.
Otherwise of little implication, this anatomic detail may be very important in case the patient requires any surgery or interventional procedure, e.g. hepatic artery embolization.
