Abstract

The Right Hepatic Artery occasionally forms a Sinuous tortuosity called as Caterpillar or Moynihan’s hump which occupies the major portion of calot’s triangle. The right hepatic artery may course a tortuous turn in front of the cystic duct, so that while clamping the cystic duct the right hepatic artery may be clamped causing accidental liver infarction.
