Imaging Findings
A B
(A) Transjugular portogram shows a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) (arrow). (B) TIPS reduction by deployment of a small balloon-
expandable stent (arrow) parallel to a covered self-expanding stent within the preexisting TIPS.
Dierential Diagnosis
Hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic
portosystemic shunt (TIPS).
Essential Facts
• TIPS-related hepatic encephalopathy likely results
when nitrogenous products from the intestine, such
as ammonia, bypass ltration by the liver and enter
the intracranial circulation. The incidence of hepatic encephalopathy after TIPS is 20%.
• Clinical presentation is obtundation, disorientation, and
confusion.
• Predisposing factors include high dietary protein,
diuresis, sepsis, sedatives, hypokalemia, dehydration, and preexisting hepatic dysfunction.
• With the appropriate clinical presentation after TIPS,
hepatic encephalopathy should be considered regardless of the imaging appearance and sonographic features of the TIPS.
• Treatment options: ◦ Medical treatment should be attempted rst, including
a protein-restricted, high-ber diet; nonabsorbable disaccharides such as oral or rectal lactulose; oral nonabsorbable antibiotics such as neomycin; and
colonic cleansing with mannitol solution or laxatives. Approximately 5% of cases are refractory, and endovascular treatment is necessary.
◦ Endovascular treatment options include reduction
of the diameter of the TIPS, coil embolization of physiologic portosystemic shunts, or coil embolization of the TIPS.
◦ Surgical treatment usually involves liver transplantation
and is reserved for severe cases.
• Endovascular reduction of TIPS may be accomplished by
two common methods:
◦ The rst involves deploying within the preexisting TIPS
a new covered stent, constricted in the middle by a loop of suture.
◦ The second depicted in this case involves deploying two
new stents parallel to each other within the preexisting TIPS: one covered self-expanding stent and one shorter uncovered balloon-expandable stent. The short balloon­expandable stent narrows the lumen of the self­expanding stent.
ü Pearls and û Pitfalls
8û Recurrent variceal bleeding after placement of a
constricted stent for encephalopathy may necessitate balloon dilation of the constricted stent.
8û Recurrent variceal bleeding after coil embolization of
a TIPS stent may necessitate placement of a new TIPS stent.
8û Nontarget embolization of coils during TIPS occlusion
results in embolization of a pulmonary arterial branch.
8û Death due to severe decrease in cardiac output,
metabolic acidosis, and hypotension has been reported (extremely rare) due to abrupt shunt occlusion.

Imaging Findings

(A) CT scan shows an enlarged pulmonary artery branch (arrow) supplying a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM). (B) Pulmonary angiogram in
the arterial-phase image shows the enlarged pulmonary artery (arrow) supplying a saccular venous component (arrowhead) of the AVM. (C) Venous-phase image shows drainage of the AVM to a large pulmonary vein (arrow). (D) Postembolization image shows coils (arrowhead) and a vascular plug (arrow). (E) Postembolization angiogram shows no ow in the arterial feeder at the level of the coils (arrow).
Dierential Diagnosis
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM):
Indicated by the enlarged pulmonary arterial branch with immediate opacication of a large draining vein.
Essential Facts
This patient may have hereditary hemorrhagic
telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu disease, because 60 to 90% of patients with pulmonary AVMs have HHT. Conversely, 20% of patients with HHT have pulmonary AVMs.
HHT is autosomal dominant with a general incidence of
2 in 100,000, typically encountered in young patients. Most patients have simple pulmonary AVMs—one or two arteries drain to one or two veins.
Paradoxical embolus may present with stroke, brain
abscess, myocardial infarction, mesenteric infarction, or peripheral artery thromboembolus.
Plain radiographs of patients with pulmonary AVMs
typically show well-circumscribed noncalcied nodules, more commonly in the lower lobes.
Multidetector CT angiography identies pulmonary
arterial supply, pulmonary venous drainage, and the presence of pulmonary arterial thrombus to verify
diagnosis and plan treatment. Look for size (see below) and number of arteries supplying the AVM and the presence of additional AVMs.
Treatment options and associated risks: ◦ Prophylactic antibiotics should be started to diminish
the risk of brain abscess.
◦ Anticoagulation should be considered to minimize
the possibility of pulmonary or paradoxical thromboembolism.
◦ AVMs with arterial supply . 3 mm in diameter are
treated, but many radiologists embolize all visible AVMs due to the risk of interval enlargement noted on serial CT scan.
◦ Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is the rst-
line intervention. Coils and vascular plugs are used; particles and liquid embolic agents are avoided because of the risk of iatrogenic paradoxical embolus.
◦ Complications of TAE to treat pulmonary AVM include
paradoxical coil embolus (, 1%) and air embolus to the coronary arteries (, 5%).
Pearls and Pitfalls
Detachable coils and vascular plugs have greatly
reduced the risk of paradoxical embolization as a complication of TAE.

(A) Doppler ultrasound image shows a mass with multiple vascular channels exhibiting an arterial waveform. (B) Brachial arteriogram shows innumerable tiny
arteries (arrow) supplying a dense vascular nidus (arrowhead). (C) Venous-phase images show large saccular venous channels (arrows) draining the nidus into the brachial and cephalic veins. (D) Cyanoacrylate glue (arrow) has been injected into the venous channels. The arteriovenous malformation was then resected.
Dierential Diagnosis
Peripheral arteriovenous malformation: The only
diagnosis, given the rapid arteriovenous shunting through a nidus of vessels.
Essential Facts
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are classied as combined high-ow vascular malformations by the
International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies.
This category includes arteriovenous stulas.
• AVMs, like other vascular malformations, are present at
birth (but often unnoticed) and grow with the patient without involuting. Histology combines capillaries, venules, and arterioles that hypertrophy within brous or bromyxomatous tissue. Growth may be exacerbated
by pregnancy, puberty, or trauma.
High-ow AVMs are dicult to treat and require a multidisciplinary approach.
• Imaging considerations:
◦ Ultrasound screens for the presence and size of vascular
malformations, measures ow rate, and detects arterial waveforms to distinguish high-ow from low-ow
malformations.
◦ MRI and MR angiography determine the size and
relationship to adjacent structures. Dynamic gradient
pulse sequences distinguish lesion types: high-ow AVMs show signal void, and low-ow AVMs are high signal on T2.
◦ CT with CT angiography can demonstrate size, bone and
tissue involvement, calcications, and thrombus.
Conventional angiography and direct puncture of the
nidus with contrast injection are performed with the
intent to treat.
• Treatment options: ◦ Indications for treatment include pain, bleeding,
ulceration, shunt-related cardiac failure, or gross deformity such as limb length discrepancy (as in the Parkes–Weber variant of Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome).
◦ Nidus elimination or venous outow obliteration by
direct puncture or selected catheterization is the most
common strategy for complicated high-ow AVMs.
◦ Liquid embolic agents: cyanoacrylate and ethylene
vinyl alcohol. Sclerosing agents: absolute ethanol and polidocanol.
◦ Embolization using coils and other large embolic
devices is an adjunctive treatment for ow reduction.
Complications of sclerotherapy and embolization
include tissue necrosis, nontarget embolization with
ischemia, infection, bleeding, and postembolization syndrome (nausea, pain, fever, and leukocytosis).
◦ Surgical ligation of the feeding arteries for AVMs is
usually ineective due to rich collateral recruitment.
◦ Surgical resection is sometimes performed after
sclerotherapy and embolization.
Pearls and Pitfalls
Treatment of AVMs starts with direct puncture of the
nidus or venous outow under imaging guidance and contrast opacication to demonstrate the ow rate, ow direction, size, and venous drainage.
For AVMs with a large draining vein, sclerotherapy and
embolization are more safely performed with concurrent
venous occlusion using either balloon catheters,
application of a tourniquet, or coil embolization.
Vascular malformations commonly recur or partially
persist, and repeated treatment is often necessary.

(A, B) Contrast-enhanced CT of the neck shows complete thrombosis and distension of the right internal jugular vein (arrows) with adjacent low density (arrowheads) extending into the surrounding soft tissues. (C, D) Chest CT shows bilateral nodules (arrows), many of them cavitated.
Dierential Diagnosis
Lemierre’s syndrome.
Essential Facts
• Lemierre’s syndrome is a rare cause of septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV) caused by regional extension of oropharyngeal bacterial infection to form a peritonsillar abscess. Anaerobic gram-negative bacteria proliferate—most commonly
normal oropharyngeal ora such as Fusobacterium necrophorum.
• Patients are often otherwise healthy adolescents or young adults, but risk factors include oropharyngeal or tonsillar infection as well as procedures such as tooth extraction, lymphangioma treatment, jaw reconstruction, and tumor resection.
• Hematogenous spread can cause serious complications such as bacteremia and septic emboli to the pulmonary arteries. Further extension to the systemic arteries can occur from pulmonary abscesses. Reported complications include hepatic, renal, and splenic abscesses, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, epidural abscess, meningitis, and sepsis.
• Presentation varies with sequelae, but most patients have a progressive oropharyngeal infection, lethargy, fevers, neck swelling, and lymphadenopathy. Pulmonary sequelae may result in chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, and shortness of breath. Peripheral arterial septic emboli
present with organ-specic signs and symptoms.
• Imaging considerations:
◦ Chest radiography may show sequelae of pulmonary
septic emboli, such as peripheral focal opacities that may be uniform or cavitated. Other sequelae include
bronchial pneumonia, empyema, and pleural eusion.
◦ Neck ultrasound is the initial screening tool and shows
thrombosis and distension of the IJV.
◦ Neck CT shows thrombosis and distension of the IJV with
mural enhancement and surrounding edema.
• Treatment is intravenous antibiotics.
Pearls and Pitfalls
Lemierre’s syndrome is usually fatal if left untreated,
but mortality is still high (6–15%) with medical management and antibiotic therapy to cover susceptible
anaerobic ora.

Imaging Findings
A B C D
(A) Contrast-enhanced, arterial-phase CT shows a pseudocyst (arrowhead) in the region of the lesser sac with a large, enhancing component (arrow) adjacent to the celiac trunk. (B) This enhancing component appears denser on this venous-phase CT, which raises the suspicion for a pseudoaneurysm. (C) Selected celiac arteriogram shows the left gastric (arrow) and splenic arteries. No extravasation is visible. The hepatic arteries are not visible because
they arise from the superior mesenteric artery in this patient. (D) Selected left gastric (arrow) arteriogram shows a large pseudoaneurysm (arrowhead) arising from a branch of this vessel. This branch was successfully embolized with coils.
Dierential Diagnosis
Pseudoaneurysm in pseudocyst: Indicated by
extravasation into a large saccular outpouching.
True aneurysm: Less likely, given the appearance and etiology.
Essential Facts
• Contents of pseudocysts may erode into or weaken the wall of an adjacent artery, causing an aneurysm (all layers of wall intact) or pseudoaneurysm (PSA); both have a high risk of rupture. Other complications of visceral PSAs include pain, sepsis, peritonitis, organ failure, and tissue necrosis due to extrinsic compression or vascular compromise.
The arteries aected are most commonly the gastroduodenal (GDA), splenic and pancreaticoduodenal, and less commonly, the gastric and gastroepiploic.
• Most PSAs caused by pseudocysts will eventually rupture if left untreated; mortality rate with rupture is 10 to 40%.
• As in this case, large PSAs can mimic abscesses and be referred for “drainage.” Recommend Doppler ultrasound
prior to considering percutaneous drainage of a uid
collection suspicious for a PSA.
• Imaging considerations:
◦ PSAs caused by pancreatic pseudocysts can range in
size from , 1 cm to . 10 cm.
◦ Doppler ultrasound of PSAs often demonstrates the
yin–yang pattern of color ow and the to-and-fro
spectral pattern by pulsed-wave Doppler.
◦ Multiphase contrast-enhanced CT is benecial to
identify PSAs because it shows internal enhancement that changes over time.
• Treatment considerations:
◦ Coil embolization of the PSA or feeding artery is
recommended for stable patients.
◦ Percutaneous drainage of infected pseudocysts can
be oered after embolization. In addition, large,
sterile pseudocysts can be drained to minimize the risk of superinfection or complications of extrinsic compression.
◦ Percutaneous thrombin injection of PSAs has been
described. Thrombin at 300–1000 IU is injected into the PSA in small increments (100 IU per 0.1 mL) under sonographic monitoring using a 22-gauge needle.
• Recurrence rate is 25% after embolization of PSAs of pancreatic pseudocysts due to continued erosion.
• Surgery is reserved for failed embolization, unstable patients, and problems associated with extrinsic compression by large PSAs. Open surgical drainage and ligation of the feeding artery are typical.
Pearls and Pitfalls
Back door–front door coil embolization is the most
common strategy to treat aneurysms and PSAs to ensure the absence of supply from collateral vessels.
This requires understanding of normal and variant
anatomy. For example:
The right gastric artery may require embolization
to prevent reconstitution of the left gastric artery (not required in this case because the only branch feeder was embolized); the right gastric has multiple variants of origin, such as the proper (most common), common, right, and left hepatic arteries and the GDA.
The gastroepiploic arcade is supplied by the GDA
(right) as well as the splenic artery (left).
The pancreaticoduodenal arcades are supplied by
the GDA as well as the superior mesenteric artery.
The splenic artery is supplied by the celiac,
pancreatic, gastroepiploic, and gastric arteries.
