One of the major reasons for unresectability liver is that remnant volume insufficient to support postoperative function. Post-hepatectomy insufficiency one most serious complications in patients undergoing hepatic resection. Preoperative portal vein embolization performed with aim inducing hypertrophy future and thought reduce risk after hepatectomy. We, interventional radiologists, are requir...

INTRODUCTION Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization has been widely used to treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma that cannot be treated by local ablation therapies or surgical resection. The effectiveness of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in prolonging survival has been well established, and approximately one third of newly discovered hepatocellular carcinoma patients were repeat...

diffuse hepatic inltration is an unusual form of hodgkin's disease (hd). its manifestation as progressive hepatitis or with hepatic failure is even rarer and can be difcult to diagnose. we aim to describe an unusual case of liver failure due to hd. a middle-aged woman with a 10 month history of daily febrile episodes, constitutional symptoms and strikingly high levels of serum ferritin was admi...

BACKGROUND Hepatic artery infusion (HAI) is indicated to treat unresectable colorectal hepatic metastases, with recent applications as a neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment. Traditionally performed with the infusion of fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, it has been now tested with oxaliplatin or irinotecan and associated with systemic chemotherapy. METHODS To evaluate the impact of medical de...

Different hepatic and biliary tract disorders may occur with celiac disease. Some have been hypothesized to share genetic or immunopathogenetic factors, such as primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and autoimmune hepatitis. Other hepatic changes in celiac disease may occur with malnutrition resulting from impaired nutrient absorption, including hepatic steatosis. In additi...

BACKGROUND Agenesis of the left hepatic lobe is a rare anomaly. It is defined as the absence of liver tissue to the left of the gallbladder fossa. Additionally, agenesis of the left hepatic lobe accompanied by hepatocellular carcinoma is quite rare. We experienced the case of a patient with agenesis of the left hepatic lobe, undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy for HCC. CASE PRESENTATION A 79-...

Congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts are rare vascular malformations often associated with severe complications. We describe a term male infant with Down syndrome with high output heart failure secondary to a congenital arterial to portal venous fistula that was diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound. Percutaneous embolizations of the left hepatic vein, portal vein, and communicating fi...
