Although each classification system has its merits and demerits, some anatomical variations cannot be classified using any of the previously described classifications. The Ohkubo classification system is the most applicable as it considers most clinically relevant variations pertinent to hepatobiliary surgery.

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Case Report: A 56-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with weight loss for endoscopic fine-needle aspiration of splenic abscess. Following fine-needle aspiration the patient had gastric bleed which was diagnosed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan and abdominal angiography. The CECT scan of abdomen also revealed the variant left gastric artery which was source of bleeding. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic was done and hemostasis was achieved by applying endoclip. Conclusion: Anatomical knowledge of variation is important for management of bleeding from such aberrant artery. IJCRI publishes Review
