  • Title: Percutaneous transumbilical portal vein embolization in a patient with a ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma supplied by the portal vein.
    Author: Kim SC, Kim HC, Chung JW, Jae HJ, Park JH.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2011 Feb; 34 Suppl 2():S214-7. PubMed ID: 21063872.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of a ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma supplied by the portal vein that was successfully treated with portal vein embolization via a percutaneous transumbilical approach. A contrast material-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scan showed the presence of a large hypervascular tumor on portal venous phase as well as right hepatic vein thrombosis and hemoperitoneum that prevented portal vein embolization by the use of the percutaneous and transjugular transhepatic approach. The use of percutaneous transumbilical portal vein embolization can be an alternative option in this situation.
