Objective To investigate the anatomic characteristics of hepatopancreatic artery(HPA) by DSA and its significance in preventing pancreatic complications after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods 1 000 cases of hepatic arteriograms have been retrospectively reviewed. The aberrant pancreatic arteries that originate from proper hepatic artery(PHA) and all distal intrahepatic branches to PHA were called hepatopancreatic arteries. The incidence of HPA has been summed up and its anatomic characteristics such as origine, course, branches and distribution have been described. Results Of 1000 cases, HPA were found in 16 cases(1.6%). There were 2 branches of HPA in one case and there was only one branch of HPA in other 15 cases. Altogether 17 branches of HPA were found; of which, 7 branches originated from PHA(41.2%,7/17), 6 branches arose from right hepatic artery(RHA)(35.3%,6/17) and 4 branches came from left hepatic artery(LHA)(23.5%,4/17). Conclusions HPA is a kind of rare variations of pancreatic artery. The importance to avoid embolizing HPA during TACE is preventing pancreatic complications.

Objective To study the characteristics of hepatogastric artery (HGA) with DSA and its clinical significance in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods One thousand cases of hepatic DSA arteriograms had been retrospectively reviewed. The aberrant gastrointestinal arteries that originated from proper hepatic artery (PHA) or distal intrahepatic arteries to PHA were named HGA. Furthermore, according to their different courses and distributions, HGAs were subdivided into right gastric artery (RGA), aberrant left gastric artery (AbLGA), aberrant gastroduodenal artery (AbGDA), aberrant right gastroepiploic artery (AbRGEA), superior duodenal artery (SDA) and other difficult-to-named HGA. The incidence of each of them had been summed up and their anatomic characteristics such as origin, course, branches, and distribution had been described. Results Of the 1000 cases, at least one branch of HGA was found in 740 cases (74%), and altogether there were 839 branches of HGA in them. The composition of 839 branches of HGA was as follows: 682 branches of RGA (81.29%, 682/839), 84 branches of AbLGA (10.01%, 84/839), 45 branches of SDA (5.36%, 45/839), 21 branches of AbGDA (2.50%, 21/839), 1 branch of AbRGEA (0.12%, 1/839) and 6 branches of difficult-to-named HGA (0.72%, 6/839). Of the 839 branches of HGA, 412 branches originated from PHA (49.11%, 412/839), 314 branches from left hepatic artery (LHA)(37.43%, 314/839), 98 branches from right hepatic artery (RHA)(11.68%, 98/839), and 15 branches from middle hepatic artery (MHA)(1.79%, 15/839). Conclusion HGA is a common gastrointestinal arterial variation and it is very important to be familiar with it so as to prevent the gastrointestinal complications after TACE in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To study the anatomic characteristics of hepatogastric artery(HGA) and its significance in preventing gastrointestinal complications in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods 1000 cases of hepatic arteriograms were retrospectively reviewed,the aberrant gastrointestinal arteries that originate from proper hepatic artery(PHA)and distal intrahepatic arteries to PHA were named HGA.The frequency,origine,course and distribution of all of HGAs were carefully analyzed.The trial group consists of 34 cases(42 times of TACE)who had HGA and controlled group consists 32 cases(56 times of TACE)who had no HGA.The incidence of gastrointestinal complications after TACE between two groups were compared.Within trial group,superselective catheterization was made and had the tip of catheter away from orifice of the HGA before infusion of embolic agents(Lipiodol)during TACE in 18 times,which was called relative safety group;whereas,the tip of catheter was not laid distal to orifice of HGA when infused Lipiodol through catheter in 24 times,which was called dangerous group.The incidence of complications between this two groups was also compared.Results Of 1000 cases of hepatic arteriography,HGA was found in 740 cases (74%).The incidence of gastrointestinal complication and its grave degree in trial group were more excessive than that in controlled group((?=0.004),similarly,the frequency of gastrointestinal complication and its graveness in dangerous group exceeded significantly that in relative safety group((?=0.000).Conclusion HGA is common vascular variation.That embolic agents (Lipiodol)was perfused carelessly into HGA may induced occurrence of gastrointestinal complications in patients after TACE,and having the tip of catheter away from the orifice of HGA by superselective catheterization during TACE could efficiently prevent happening of this kind of complications after operation.
