Abstract
In the field of gross anatomy, we should consider new topics of research in subclinical conditions and in human gross anatomy. Hepatic artery unlike the other branches of abdominal aorta is a non-atherosclerotic artery when we search the literature. This hypothesis will be a very good proposal for anatomical and radiological researches.
