A detailed understanding of the enteric vascular supply is of great importance for pre-operative planning. In the case of this 68-year-old white male donor, the following variations were observed: a hepatogastrophrenic trunk, a celiacomesenteric trunk, and a middle mesenteric artery. Literature review was conducted to understand the frequency and clinical significance of these variations.
