Researchers at Wuhan University in Hubei, China have published a report on an unusual anatomical variation of the accessory left gastric artery. The study describes a case where the artery originated from the left hepatic artery and sent small branches to the esophagus, cardia, and fundus of the stomach. This rare variant of the gastric artery has not been previously described in detail. The researchers emphasize the importance of recognizing this variation for safe and effective interventional diagnosis and treatment techniques involving the liver or gastric arteries.
