Abstract
|
|
|
We report the case of a 71-year-old man with hemobilia after a postbiopsy portal vein pseudoaneurysm in segment VI of the liver, which was treated with successful transarterial embolization. Because an arterioportal fistulous tract was visible using fluoroscopic imaging, N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) was successfully injected from the hepatic artery into the portal vein, with subsequent exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. Follow-up computed tomography scans obtained 2 days after embolization showed an NBCA cast within the portal vein and no further opacification of the pseudoaneurysm.
