D: The para-biliary arterial plexus, including the 3 or 9 o’clock arteries, anastomoses to the posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery. Panc: Pancreas; Duod: Duodenum; SMV: Superior mesenteric vein; SMA: Superior mesenteric artery; CHA: Common hepatic artery; CBD: Common bile duct; GDA: Gastroduodenal artery; IPDA: Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery; FJA: First jejunal artery.
