    Author: Park A, Cwikiel W.
    Journal: Acta Radiol; 2008 Oct; 49(8):951-4. PubMed ID: 18720085.
    Abstract:
    Two infants with portal hypertension were treated on an emergency basis for life-threatening uncontrollable variceal bleeding. One 9-month-old girl had portal vein thrombosis, and the other 28-months-old girl had liver cirrhosis secondary to biliary atresia. Following percutaneous transhepatic embolization of the varices, successful bleeding control was achieved in both patients.
