Background: The liver is the largest gland in the body and has a wide variety of functions . It receives a double blood supply via the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The portal vein provides about 50% to 70% of the liver’s oxygenation and the hepatic artery gives about 30% to 50% oxygenation to the liver. Unlike portal vein anatomy, the hepatic arterial anatomy is extraordinarily variable . The incidence of aberrant hepatic artery is quite high . So the knowledge about hepatic vascular distribution and its variations is important to plan and to make trans arterial embolization therapy successful in the patients with metastatic liver tumors. Aim : To find out the incidence of aberrant arterial variation of right hepatic artery and left hepatic artery in cadavers . Materials and Methods: 60 adult specimens from cadavers were studied by using conventional dissection method in Institute of Anatomy , Madras medical college , Chennai . Age & sex of these cadavers were not determined. Results: 4 specimens were showing both aberrant right hepatic artery and aberrant left hepatic artery. In addition to these, one specimen had an aberrant left hepatic artery only. Middle hepatic artery was seen in three of these five specimens. Conclusion : Knowledge about the aberrant hepatic arteries is important in the field of trans arterial embolization therapy in hepatic tumours .
