ABSTRACT
Background:
To show the anomalous origin of right inferior phrenic artery from right renal artery and to discuss the embryological basis and surgical significance of such variation.Method:
This was found during routine dissection of abdomen in a 61 year old adult male cadaver in the department of anatomy, R.G.Kar Medical College.Results:
It was seen that right inferior phrenic artery(RIPA) took its origin from right renal artery. Further distribution of RIPA was normal. Left inferior phrenic artery (LIPA) arose normally from abdominal aorta.Conclusion:
Accurate knowledge regarding this is important for carrying out vascular and reconstructive surgery and for evaluation of angiographic images . The RIPA is a major source of collateral arterial supply to hepatocellular carcinoma, second only to the hepatic artery. So a surgically inoperable HCC can be treated by transcatheter embolization of not only the right or left hepatic arteries, but also by embolization of a RIPA, if involved.
