abstract ={Splenic artery steal syndrome, (SASS) is a controversial cause of hepatic artery (HA) hypoperfusion
attributed either to a decreased HA flow due to deviation to the splenic artery or to HA vasoconstriction in
response to the increased portal flow due to the hepatic arterial buffer response (HABR). Herein we report
a case of SASS that showed an anatomic variant of a replaced common hepatic artery (CHA), originating
exclusively from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) that was treated successfully with splenic artery
ligation These findings support, at least in this case, that the etiology of graft dysfunction is the increased
portal flow rather than the deviation of the hepatic artery flow to the splenic artery.}
