Anatomic variation of right hepatic artery (RHA) is not rare in clinical. we retrospective reviewed the clinical data of 179 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) between January 2012 and June 2017 in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Hospital of Binzhou Medical University, Shandong Province, China. 28 patients from them presented variant RHA including replaced RHA (rRHA) and accessory RHA (aRHA), and the incidence of aberrant RHA was about 15.64%.
