A study on branching patterns of middle hepatic artery was performed in 109 patients with A-P and oblique view hepatic angiogram, which refered to size and location of quadrate lobe in CT and SMA portography. We could analyze the branching patterns of middle hepatic artery (MHA) in 100 among the 109 patients. MHA arising as a first branch of left hepatic artery was the most common pattern (50%), and MHA arising from proper hepatic artery separately one from left hepatic artery was the next common pattern (35%). MHA originating from left gastric artery, or from anterior or posterior of the right hepatic artery was not seen. MHA WAS not found as an accessory or replaced artery except as replaced common hepatic artery.
