Imaging Findings
A, B
(A) Aortogram shows enlarged, tortuous uterine (arrows) and ovarian (arrowheads) arteries. (B) Selection of the anterior division of the internal iliac artery
shows the right uterine arterial branch (arrow) supplying tumor vascularity. This uterine artery is smaller than expected for a broid uterus because the bulk of the supply is from the ovarian arteries in this case. (C) Selective arteriography of the right ovarian artery (arrow) shows extensive supply to the uterine tumor vascularity. (D) Embolization of the right ovarian artery (arrow), both uterine arteries, and the left ovarian artery was performed by selective injection of particles.
Dierential Diagnosis
Fibroid uterus: Supplied by both uterine and ovarian
arteries.
Essential Facts
• Approximately 30 to 40% women older than 35 years
of age have uterine broids, and approximately 25% are
symptomatic.
• Patients often seek treatment after a known history of
broids and menorrhagia, occasionally with anemia, and bulk symptoms such as abdominal pain, distention, urinary frequency, and constipation.
• Diagnostic considerations: ◦ Clinical consultation begins with a history and physical
examination. Endometrial biopsy may be ordered to rule out uterine malignancy.
◦ Ultrasound is a common screening modality and
often the only imaging required before uterine artery embolization (UAE). Fibroids can be hypoechoic or have mixed echogenicity in a heterogeneous uterus.
◦ MRI is used as a primary and sole screening tool by
many practitioners, but others use MRI only when ultrasound is equivocal for alternative diagnoses,
particularly malignancy.
◦ MRI better demonstrates malignant features that
may indicate the need for hysterectomy and better
demonstrates pedunculated, subserosal broids. Fibroids are usually low signal intensity on T1 and T2
and enhanced images. On follow-up MRI immediately
after UAE, broid enhancement may suggest clinical
failure.
◦ CT is not routinely used to screen patients for UAE
but is excellent for assessing possible postprocedure complications such as abscess. Fibroids often have
retained contrast and air in the rst week after UAE.
• Treatment considerations: ◦ Medical therapy is limited to pain control medications
and leuprolide to shrink broids prior to surgery.
◦ Endovascular therapy with UAE treats all broids
permanently. Embolic agents used include permanent
particles for broids and temporary Gelfoam (Pzer, New York, NY) for postpartum hemorrhage. Typical
recovery consists of an overnight admission for pain control. Clinical success rates are high (85–96%).
Complications include postembolization syndrome, infection (endometritis, abscess), sloughing of mucosal broids, nontarget embolization, vasospasm, and
infertility from ovarian embolization.
◦ Surgical treatment consists of two options.
Hysterectomy cures the patient of broids but is
associated with weeks of recovery and morbidity in
up to 20% of patients. In addition to the denite loss of fertility, major complications include injury to the urinary tract, bowel perforation, wound infections,
and adhesions. Myomectomy maintains fertility but
removes the dominant broids without treating all broids. Thus, it has a high late failure rate (40%).
Pearls and Pitfalls
UAE is often avoided in patients who desire pregnancy,
but in such patients, pregnancy is achieved after UAE at
rates approaching those of the general population.
Leuprolide reduces gonadotropin secretion and creates
a low-estrogen state (drug-induced menopause) but is
only transient in most cases, reversing 3 months after
cessation of therapy.
Failure of UAE is more common in cases of
pedunculated broids, unilateral artery embolization,
and ovarian artery supply.
Studies have demonstrated increased rates of
miscarriage after UAE.

Imaging Findings
A CB D
(A) Arterial-phase, contrast-enhanced CT scan shows an aneurysm (arrowhead) anterior to the descending thoracic aorta at the level of proximal main
stem bronchi accompanied by enlarged arterial branches (arrow). (B) Conventional selective arteriogram shows markedly enlarged bronchial arteries (arrow) and an aneurysm (arrowhead) involving the proximal segment of a bronchial artery. (C) Cone-beam CT scan during conventional selective arte­riogram through a 5-Fr catheter (short arrow) shows a short neck (long arrows) between the aorta and the aneurysm (arrowhead). (D) The aneurysm was embolized by packing with coils (arrowhead).
Dierential Diagnosis
Bronchial artery aneurysm.
Essential Facts
• Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is usually performed for massive hemoptysis (. 300 mL/d), which is caused by the bronchial arteries (BAs) in 90%, pulmonary arteries in 5%, and systemic arteries in 5% of cases.
• Bronchial artery aneurysms (BAAs) represent , 1% of cases referred for BAE. More common indications include recurrent or massive hemoptysis from tuberculosis, fungal and bacterial infections, chronic bronchitis,
sarcoidosis, cystic brosis, bronchogenic carcinoma, and
bronchial adenoma.
• BAAs are usually singular and result from chronic, benign lung diseases listed above, although idiopathic cases have been described. Other causes include Behçet’s disease, pulmonary sequestration, trauma, systemic connective tissue disease, and autoimmune vasculitis such as polyarteritis nodosa, Hughes–Stovin syndrome, and hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome.
• Aneurysms of the BAs are believed to have a high risk of life-threatening rupture. For intraparenchymal BAAs, rupture or erosion into the adjacent bronchial tree causes hemoptysis. For mediastinal BAAs such as the one in this case, a mediastinal hematoma results and presents
with pain or mass eect on the esophagus, airway, and
central veins.
• BAE considerations:
◦ The most common BA variations are either two left
BAs and one right intercostobronchial trunk (ICBT) (40%) or one left BA and one right ICBT (21%). BAs arise near left mainstem bronchus in 94% of cases (T5 to T6).
◦ Aberrant BAs parallel the bronchi but may arise from
atypical sites such as the aortic arch (most common), internal mammary arteries, subclavian artery, and the costovertebral trunk.
◦ CT angiography or MR angiography is critical for
planning BAE for BAAs to determine arterial source, neck length and diameter, and BA tortuosity. Bronchial angiography is performed with the intent to embolize.
◦ BAAs are embolized with coils, although preliminary
adjunctive embolization of the more distal (eerent)
bronchial artery branches with permanent particles
may be performed rst to treat chronic lung disease.
◦ The most common complications of BAE are chest
pain, dysphagia, and dissection. Tissue necrosis (lung, bronchi, and esophagus), transient cortical blindness, and paralysis due to spinal artery embolization or injury occur in , 1% of cases.
Pearls and Pitfalls
üUnlike BAAs, aneurysms of the pulmonary arteries are
almost always mycotic and have a high risk of rupture. Tuberculosis is the most common cause (Rasmussen’s aneurysms).
üCare should be taken to identify spinal arteries during
BAE and avoid selective catheterization, embolization, or injury of these vessels. “Hairpin-shaped” anterior medullary arteries arise from ICBT in 10% of cases. The artery of Adamkiewicz arises from the aorta at the T9 to T12 level in 75% of cases.
üSurgery may be required when BAE fails or is infeasible.

ents to interventional radiology for inferior vena cava lter placement.

Imaging Findings
A B
(A) Digital subtraction inferior vena cava (IVC) venography shows two communicating left renal veins forming a loop (arrow). (B) An IVC lter (arrow) has
been placed below the caudal-most renal vein.
Dierential Diagnosis
Duplicated left renal veins: An obvious rst choice. Cross-sectional imaging would verify that these veins are
circumaortic (one anterior, one posterior).
Enlarged left lumbar vein: Unlikely, because both veins join to drain the kidney.
Essential Facts
• Anomalies of the renal veins (RVs) and inferior vena cava (IVC) have been observed by selective renal venography
in 20 to 37% of the general population. Similar ndings
have been observed by cross-sectional imaging and
autopsy studies. The most common anomalies include:
◦ Duplicated (with or without circumaortic) left RV ◦ Retroaortic left RV ◦ Duplicated right RVs ◦ Duplication of the IVC ◦ Azygous continuation of the IVC ◦ Congenital megacava
Clinical signicance of anomalies of the RVs and IVC
includes:
◦ In patients with multiple RVs, placement of a lter
between the outows of consecutive RVs leaves the
patient vulnerable to future pulmonary embolism (PE) because a collateral pathway through the RV circulation
remains open and may increase in size over time. As in this case, the lter is placed below the lowest RV outow.
In the case of duplication of the IVC, the left IVC usually
drains into the left RV. Unilateral infrarenal lter
placement protects the patient from PE originating from
only a single lower extremity. Options for bilateral deep
vein thrombosis or bilateral presurgical prophylaxis
include bilateral lter placement or placement of a suprarenal lter.
In the case of congenital megacava, placement of a
conventional IVC lter can lead to life-threatening lter migration to the right atrium. Most lters are rated for placement in IVCs up to a diameter of 28 mm. Bird’s nest lters can be placed in IVCs up to 40 mm in diameter. Alternatively, bilateral common iliac vein lters can be placed in patients with megacava.
◦ Knowledge of venous anomalies may aect the
technique, success, and safety of major operations such as renal transplantation or aortoiliac surgery, diagnostic procedures such as adrenal and renal vein sampling, and therapeutic procedures such as spermatic vein
embolization for the treatment of varicoceles.
Pearls and Pitfalls
üSelective injection of the RVs is indicated if anomalies
are suspected.
üVenography for lter placement usually relies on
detection of RV outow and may miss anomalies.
üLumbar veins can be confused for duplicated RVs.

Imaging Findings
A
(A) Venous-phase CT scan shows a large, hypovascular right hepatic lobe mass (large arrow) measuring 11 cm in diameter. No cirrhosis is evident, and the
left hepatic lobe is free of tumor and is of normal size (small arrow). (B) Transhepatic portal venography was performed using a contralateral approach by puncturing the segment 3 portal branch. The right lobe (large arrow) is signicantly larger than the left (small arrow) and demonstrates hypoperfusion in the region of the tumor. (C) Repeat portal venography after embolization (particles, coils) (arrow) of the branches of the right portal vein. (D) Repeat CT scan after right lobe resection (large arrow). The left lobe (small arrow) is signicantly larger as a result of preliminary embolization of the portal vein.
Dierential Diagnosis
Right lobe cholangiocarcinoma requiring left lobe hypertrophy via right portal vein embolization (PVE).
Essential Facts
• PVE is performed to facilitate the option for curative resection in patients with large liver tumors by enlarging the portion of the liver that will remain after resection (future liver remnant: FLR).
• Candidates for PVE:
◦ PVE increases FLR so that the volume of resected liver
will not result in perioperative liver dysfunction.
◦ Most patients undergo right PVE for right lobe
hepatectomy in order to hypertrophy the left lobe. Extended hepatectomy includes both the right lobe and segment 4 of the left lobe.
◦ The right lobe provides adequate liver function after left
lobe hepatectomy in nearly all cases.
◦ In patients with normal liver function, an FLR of . 20%
is recommended.
◦ In patients with hepatic steatosis or exposure to
hepatotoxic chemotherapy, an FLR of . 30% is recommended.
◦ In patients with Child–Pugh class A cirrhosis and
preserved liver function, an FLR of . 40% is recommended.
◦ Absolute contraindications to PVE include extensive
ipsilateral tumor thrombus, clinically evident portal hypertension (contraindication to hepatectomy), and Child–Pugh class B or C cirrhosis (not candidates for major resection).
• PVE procedure:
◦ Current liver function is estimated by the indocyanine
green (ICG) test. ICG is cleared exclusively by biliary excretion. Higher ICG percentage in the blood 15 minutes after intravenous injection indicates poor hepatic reserve.
B C D
◦ Multiphase contrast-enhanced CT is obtained
for preoperative planning and measurement of standardized FLR (sFLR: calculated FLR standardized relative to patient size as a ratio of FLR to total functional liver volume).
◦ PVE is performed to achieve complete portal occlusion
of targeted segments using embolic agents—usually glue, coils, and permanent particles. All segments intended for resection should undergo PVE.
◦ Transhepatic access routes include ipsilateral (portal
vein [PV] of the tumor-bearing liver) and contralateral. Ipsilateral minimizes the risk of injury to the FLR but is more challenging.
◦ Periodic portography and portal pressure
measurements are obtained. Portal hypertension is a contraindication for resection.
Pearls and Pitfalls
üHypertrophy of the FLR takes 2 to 4 weeks in otherwise
normal livers and . 4 weeks in cirrhotic livers.
üExtended right hepatectomy typically leaves an sFLR
, 20%.
üPVE typically does not cause postembolization
syndrome.
üMortality after PVE has not been reported.
üMajor complications are uncommon (, 3%) and
include nontarget embolization of the contralateral PVs (which excludes the patient from resection), bleeding, pneumothorax, and cholangitis.

Imaging Findings
A, B C, D
(A) Venous-phase, contrast-enhanced CT scan shows stranding of fat (arrow) surrounding the pancreatic head, suggestive of inammation, infection, or
hemorrhage. (B) CT angiography scan with 3D reformatting shows marked narrowing of the origin of the celiac artery (arrowhead) with post-stenotic dilatation. No evidence of atherosclerotic change is seen in the aorta or superior mesenteric artery, and the appearance of the celiac artery suggests extrinsic compression. (C) Selective superior mesenteric arteriogram shows retrograde opacication of the celiac artery and its branches via enlarged anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arteries (PDAs) (arrowheads). A PDA branch aneurysm is seen (arrow). (D) Superselective arteriogram shows the aneurysm (arrow) originating from a duodenal artery The aneurysmal duodenal artery was embolized with coils.
Dierential Diagnosis
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) resulting in a ruptured pancreaticoduodenal aneurysm: Indicated
by the combination of these two entities on CT scanning and angiography.
Pancreatitis with resultant aneurysm formation: A possibility, given the fat stranding surrounding the pancreatic head.
Essential Facts
• MALS is compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm. MALS is far more common in females and has a wide age range—from adolescence to elderly patients (median, 35 years).
• In addition to celiac artery compression, chronic
irritation/inammation of the celiac ganglion/plexus
is postulated as a cause for MALS. Disruption of the ganglion improves outcomes after surgery.
• In addition to a congenital cause, MALS has been observed after abdominal surgery (e.g., liver transplantation), pancreatitis, and trauma.
• Clinical presentation is mild to severe abdominal pain,
particularly during exercise and after eating, chronic intermittent nausea and diarrhea, and signicant weight
loss (. 20 pounds). An epigastric bruit may be detected
during exhalation.
Untreated, MALS can cause xed stenoses, aneurysms, or complete occlusion of the celiac artery with enlargement of pancreaticoduodenal collateral pathways to supply the celiac distribution. Aneurysms of PDAs may result, which carry a high risk of rupture.
Physical exam and imaging studies are performed, both
stressed (exhalation) and unstressed (inhalation).
• Imaging considerations:
◦ Doppler sonography is a useful screening tool as well
as a follow-up imaging test after treatment. Look for velocity . 200 cm/s, respiratory variation in velocity measurements, and grayscale imaging showing stenosis and post-stenotic dilatation.
◦ CT/CT angiography (CTA) veries MALS and excludes
inammatory and neoplastic causes of mesenteric
ischemia. ◦ MRI/MR angiography (MRA) is an alternative to CT/CTA. ◦ Conventional angiography best demonstrates xed
versus transient stenosis (varying with respiration),
aneurysms, and the direction and pathway of collateral
circulation. ◦ Conventional angiography, CTA, and MRA images
typically show compression of the cranial aspect of
the celiac trunk, often slightly distal to the origin. A “J”
conguration of the celiac artery may result.
• Treatment considerations: ◦ Surgical release of the median arcuate ligament with
disruption of the celiac ganglion is the rst-line
treatment.
◦ Endovascular revascularization with angioplasty or
stent placement is contraindicated prior to median arcuate ligament release to prevent further arterial injury, early recurrence (angioplasty), and deformation
and fracture of balloon-expandable stents.
◦ Angioplasty and stent placement are options for
residual stenosis of the celiac artery after median arcuate ligament release.
◦ Embolization should be performed for aneurysms
of collateral arteries (most commonly, the PDAs and branches) because the rate of life-threatening rupture associated with visceral artery aneurysms is high. Coil embolization is standard.
Pearls and Pitfalls
üWith strict patient selection, 65 to 75% describe
symptom relief after surgical release of the median arcuate ligament.
üCompression occurs in 5 to 20% of asymptomatic
people; clinical correlation is vital.
üAbsence of rigorous patient screening can lead to an
overdiagnosis of MALS, contributing to a lowered success rate for surgical decompression
