Overview

Anatomical study characterizes vascular patterns in liver anatomy, suggesting improved surgical planning.

Key Points

  • The aim is to characterize anatomical variations of the right portal vein and right hepatic vein to enhance surgical outcomes.
  • Analyzed contrast-enhanced CT images from 569 patients without known liver disease.
  • Performed three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions using Hisense CAS system.
  • Classified RPV and RHV anatomical variations based on origins and bifurcation patterns.
  • Identified four distinct RPV branching patterns with Type A being the most common (68.5%).
  • Three types of RHV drainage patterns were identified, with Type A (68%) being predominant.
  • Accessory RHVs were observed in nearly half (49.7%) of the patients, indicating frequent anatomical variation.
