  • Title: Portal vein occlusion with aberrant left gastric vein functioning as a hepatopetal collateral pathway.
    Author: Ishigami K, Sun S, Berst MJ, Heery SD, Fajardo LL.
    Journal: J Vasc Interv Radiol; 2004 May; 15(5):501-4. PubMed ID: 15126662.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of an aberrant left gastric vein functioning as a hepatopetal collateral as a result of portal vein occlusion is presented herein. The portal venous phase of multislice computed tomography clearly demonstrated this anatomic variation and provided a reliable vascular "road map" for percutaneous transhepatic portal venous stent placement. Portal hypertension associated with extensive gastrojejunal varices improved dramatically after stent placement.
