The hepatic artery is a branch of the celiac trunk. It passes along the upper edge of the pancreas to the initial section of the duodenum, then goes up between the sheets of the lesser omentum, located in front of the portal vein and medial to the common bile duct, and at the gate of the liver is divided into the right and left branches. Its branches are also the right gastric and gastroduodenal arteries. Often there are additional branches. Topographic anatomy carefully studied on donor livers)
