Case 85 Portal Vein Embolization
https://t.me/med1917
Figure 85.4
Figure 85.6
Figure 85.5
Findings
Transhepatic access to the right posterior portal vein has been achieved, and a pigtail catheter is positioned in
the main portal vein (Fig. 85.4, arrow).
Portal venogram in the AP (Fig. 85.4) and RAO (Fig. 85.5) projections demonstrates aberrant portal vein
branching pattern. e right posterior portal vein (arrow) is the rst branch of the main portal vein in this so-called “Z-type” anatomy.
Following embolization of the right portal vein (Fig. 85.6), there is redirection of ow to the future liver
remanant (FLR), in this case the le hemiliver.
Teaching Points
e indication for portal vein embolization is to induce contralateral hepatic hypertrophy to facilitate
extended hepatic resection.
Assessment of liver function may be functional or anatomic. Clearance of indocyanine green is an example of
functional assessment and is commonly used preoperatively in Asia. Liver volumetric analysis, an anatomic measure, is more commonly used in the United States to assess resectability.
Approximately 40% of patients have variant portal vein anatomy. is is important to recognize to prevent
embolization of nontarget vessels and ensure embolization of all target branches.

Management
https://t.me/med1917
In this case, embolization was performed with Embospheres©, although many agents can be used, including
particles, glue, and thrombin. Coils are generally not used as a single agent because of the rich intrahepatic collaterals that reconstitued distal portal vein branches, but they may be used in combination with another agent.
In patients with compensated cirrhosis, an FLR of 40% is considered adequate, whereas in patients with
normal liver parenchyma an FLR of 20%–25% may be acceptable.
Hypertrophy is commonly assessed by computed tomography or magnetic resonance volumetry 4 weeks aer
embolization. Typical increase in the ratio of future liver remnent/total liver volume is 8%–10% and the mean hypertrophy of the FLR is 25%–30%. In patients with cirrhosis the hypertrophy is less pronounced.
Ipsilateral portal vein access is preferred to minimize the risk of damage to the FLR.

History
A31-Year-Old Asian Female with History of Crohn’s Disease and Sickle Cell Trait with Multiple Past
Hospitalizations for Chest Pain and Myalgia
Multiple prior chest computed tomographs (CTs) performed were all negative. Recently, the patient was admitted with acute chest pain with the following imaging; ndings are new since 6months prior. Of note, the patient had previously been on chronic steroid therapy.

Findings
https://t.me/med1917
CT scan on admission shows asymmetric stenosis of the right carotid artery with thickening of the arterial wall
(white arrows, Fig. 86.4). Additionally, an ascending aortic aneurysm is identied (white arrows, Figs. 86.6 and
86.7), which was not seen on prior CT scans from 6months prior (not shown). ickening of the walls of the
descending aorta (black arrow, Fig. 86.6) and carotid artery (black arrow, Fig. 86.5) are also identied.
Figure 86.8 represents an ascending aortic angiogram showing a tulip bulb appearance of the ascending aorta
(white arrow). Taken alone, this could also reect aortic dilation from Marfan’s syndrome; however, it is compatible with sequela of large-vessel vasculitis, given the remainder of ndings on the corresponding CT.
Active vasculitis is demonstrated as uorodeoxyglucose (FDG) avidity on positron emission tomography
(PET) imaging (white arrows, Fig. 86.9).
Figure 86.10 shows 1-year follow-up aer ascending aortic aneurysm repair (white arrow).
Teaching Points
Takayasu’s arteritis is an uncommon large-vessel vasculitis that can produce both stenosis and aneuryms. It is
more common in females.
It is considered an autoimmune disease, but it is thought to have a multifactorial etiology.Classical presentation includes two phases:an acute (prepulseless) phase and a late (pulseless) phase.
Acute symptoms:oen constitutional—weight loss, fatigue, night sweats, and fevers. May also include joint
pain and arthritis.
Late symptoms:usually secondary to organ involvement such as upper-extremity claudication,
cerebrovascular insuciency, or carotid artery pain.
While nonspecic, inammatory markers such as ESR and C-reactive protein may be elevated.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT will show vessel wall thickening, stenosis, and/or aneurysm
formation.
PET/CT has been suggested to monitor signs of inammation within the vessel wall.Current classication of Takayasu’s arteritis is as follows, based on artery involvement:
Type I—Arch vessels
Type IIA—Ascending aorta, arch, and branches
Type IIB—Type IIA + descending aorta
Type III—Descending and abdominal aorta and/or renal artery
Type IV—Abdominal aorta and renal artery
Type V—Combination of types IIB and IV
Management
Main therapy is medical with a combination of steroids and/or immunosuppressive drugs. Long-term
prednisolone therapy can result in imaging improvement. Patients in the active phase are treated with a steroid taper.
Surgery for symptomatic stenosis or enlarging aneurysms should only be performed aer multidisciplinary
discussion and avoided during the active phase.
Intervention during the active phase is associated with poor outcome. In the latent phase, angioplasty to treat
chronic stenosis can be considered. ere are scattered reports of endogra placement to treat aneurysmal components.

Figure 87.3
Figure 87.4
Findings
MIP from a contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance image (MRI) (Fig. 87.3) demonstrates abrupt cuto of
the abdominal aorta just below the origin of the superior mesenteric artery (arrow). e external iliac arteries (stars) are reconstituted by collaterals, including prominent inferior epigastric arteries (hollow arrows) and iliolumbar arteries (arrowhead).
Arterial-phase axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) (Fig. 87.4) conrms complete occlusion
of the distal aorta and shows large inferior epigastric arteries (arrows) that serve as a collateral pathway to reconstitute the external iliac arteries.
264
Teaching Points
https://t.me/med1917
e constellation of bilateral buttock claudication, impotence (in men), and diminished femoral pulses is
termed “Leriche syndrome.” Symptoms may be unilateral or bilateral, depending on the level of obstruction and ecacy of collateral pathways.
Leriche syndrome occurs in the setting of atherosclerotic aortoiliac occlusive disease usually distal to origin
of the renal arteries. is is a dierentiating factor from mid-aortic syndrome, which is seen in children and young adults and involves the origins of the renal arteries.
Collateral pathways that provide lower-extremity runo in the setting of aortoiliac occlusive disease include
(1)the “Winslow pathway” from the internal mammary or intercostal arteries to the external iliac arteries via the inferior epigastric arteries (as in this case); (2)lumbar to iliolumbar arteries; (3)superior hemorrhoidal (a branch of the inferior mesenteric artery) to inferior hemorrhoidal arteries; and (4)various additional communications between branches of the internal iliac artery and femoral arteries (e.g., superior gluteal to femoral circumex).
Management
Diagnostic catheter angiography is rarely indicated because CT angiogram and magnetic resonance
angiogram can provide the morphologic and physiologic information required to plan intervention.
Indications for intervention include disabling claudication and threatened limb.Surgical options include aortofemoral bypass, axillofemoral bypass, femoral-femoral bypass, and aortic
endarterectomy.
In some cases, stent placement can be performed, with the best results in single lesions <3cm; however, this is
an uncommon cause of Leriche syndrome.

Case 88 Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and Subclavian Artery Aneurysm
https://t.me/med1917
Figure 88.3
Figure 88.4
Findings
Aselective arteriogram of the right subclavian artery in neutral position (Fig. 88.3) shows a large aneurysm
(black arrow) involving the proximal right subclavian artery. is aneurysm is the source of emboli causing blue ngers.
Repeated arteriogram of the right subclavian artery with the arm abducted (Fig. 88.4) shows compression
of the subclavian artery (black arrow) at the thoracic outlet. Aneurysms secondary to thoracic outlet compression usually occur just proximal to the area of compression, making this case atypical.
Teaching Points
oracic outlet syndrome refers to compression of the neurovascular bundle by either normal or variant
anatomical structures. Commonly, these include the rst rib, the anterior scalene muscle, an anomalous cervical rib, or the tendon of the subclavius muscle.
Physical exam may reveal arm pain, skin color changes, or muscle cramping during abduction of the aected
limb.
Sonography may reveal increased peak systolic velocities or cessation of ow when the arm is placed in the
hyperabducted position.
To clinch the diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome at angiography, injections should be performed in both
a neutral and abducted position to assess anatomy, severity of compression, and associated ndings such as aneurysm formation or distal emboli.
Management
Surgical release of the thoracic outlet should be performed prior to any endovascular therapy, except in the
setting of limb ischemia or thrombus/emboli, where catheter-directed thrombolysis may be performed prior to surgical resection.
Endovascular stent gra placement has been used to exclude aneurysms following surgical release; however,
vascular bypass with aneurysm exclusion and resection may be required.
Postsurgical angiography is performed to assess for residual stenosis, which may require further therapy.e patient in this case underwent rst-rib resection with excision of the aneurysm with interposition gra.
