o At the porta, the portal vein always lies posteriorly, with the CBD anteriorly and the right hepatic artery in between the portal vein and the common duct. Doppler ultrasound of the portal vein shows anterograde flow up towards the right upper quadrant (RUQ) normally.

The patient-specific hepatic artery was obtained from a MeVis (MeVis Medical Solutions AG, Bremen, Germany) image of an anonymous patient. Figure 2 shows the anterior view of the hepatic artery, which is type-III under Michels’ classification (Michels 1966). In type-III hepatic arteries, the replaced right hepatic artery (RHA) arises from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). In this patient-specific vasculature, there is a CA of 1 mm in diameter between the left and right hepatic arteries (LHA and RHA). The arrows indicating the LHA and RHA in Figure 2 show the points from which the geometry was truncated for the 3D virtual reconstruction. At these points, the LHA and the RHA are both 3 mm in diameter.
