ABSTRACT
To perform safe and radical pancreaticoduodenectomy, adequate knowledge of the branching and running course of the common hepatic artery is necessary. Formation of a common trunk by the common hepatic artery and superior mesenteric artery, called the hepatomesenteric trunk, is very rare. When it occurs, the common hepatic artery arising from the hepatomesenteric trunk usually runs behind the pancreas head. In the present case, however, it ran through the pancreatic parenchyma. Therefore, pancreaticoduodenectomy for duodenal carcinoma was performed with preservation of the intrapancreatic common hepatic artery. When pancreaticoduodenectomy is performed in patients with a replaced common hepatic artery running through the pancreatic parenchyma, it is necessary to preoperatively determine whether to preserve or resect the common hepatic artery in the pancreas with consideration of the curability. If resected, whether to reconstruct it must also be determined. If reconstructed, the reconstruction method must be determined, and if not, it is important to perform preoperative coiling of the common hepatic artery and intraoperative measurement of the hepatic blood flow with a Doppler flow meter.
