The hepatic falciform artery is a small vessel that arises as a terminal branch of the middle or left hepatic artery. Its anatomy and clinical importance have been described in several recent reports. During dissection of a cadaver, this artery is generally found connected with the ensiform branch of the internal mammary artery. However, to our knowledge, anastomosis has not previously been described radiologically.
肝镰状动脉是一条小血管,它作为肝中动脉或肝左动脉的终末分支发出。其解剖结构及临床重要性在最近的几篇报道中已有描述。在尸体解剖过程中,通常会发现这条动脉与胸廓内动脉的剑突支相连。然而,据我们所知,此前尚未有关于其吻合情况的影像学描述。
