Abstract: | PurposeTo investigate the association between hepatic ischemic complications and hepatic artery (HA) collateral vessels and portal venous (PV) impairment after HA embolization for postoperative hemorrhage.Materials and MethodsFrom October 2003 to November 2019, 42 patients underwent HA embolization for postoperative hemorrhage. HA collateral vessels were classified according to visualization after embolization (grade 1, none; grade 2, 1–4 segmental HA; and grade 3, ≥4 segmental HA). Transhepatic portal vein stent placements were performed in the same session for 5 patients (11.9%) with poor HA collateral vessels (grade 1 or 2) and compromised PV flow (>70% stenosis). Hepatic ischemic complications were analyzed for relevance to HA collateral vessels and PV compromise.ResultsAfter HA embolization, HA flow was found to be preserved (grade 3) through intra- and/or extrahepatic collateral vessels in 23 patients (54.8%), and hepatic complications did not occur regardless of PV flow status (0%). Of the 19 patients (45.2%) with poor HA collateral vessels (grade 1 or 2), segmental hepatic infarction occurred in 2 of 15 patients (13.3%) with preserved PV flow (10 naïve and 5 stented). The remaining 4 patients with poor HA collateral vessels and untreated compromised PV flow experienced multisegmental hepatic infarction (n = 3) or hepatic failure (n = 1) (100%) (P < .005).ConclusionsAfter HA embolization, preserved HA flow (≥4 segmental HA) lowered the risk of hepatic complications regardless of the PV flow. Based on these findings, transhepatic PV stent placement seems to be an effective intervention for the prevention of hepatic complications in cases of poor HA collateral vessels and compromised PV flow. |
