Characterization of the middle hepatic artery and its relevance to living donor liver transplantation

Shaofa Wang, Xiaoshun He, Ziping Li, Zhenpeng Peng, Nga Lei Tam, Canhui Sun, Anbin Hu, Jiefu Huang – 13 April 2010 – In comparison with the left and right hepatic arteries, there is a relative lack of information on the middle hepatic artery (MHA).

An MHA was present in 103 (71%) of the subjects.
