  • Title: Portal air embolism after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
    Author: Barbeiro S, Atalaia-Martins C, Gonçalves C, Cotrim I.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 2017 Jun; 109(6):452-453. PubMed ID: 28597673.
    Abstract:
    The authors present an uncommon case of portal venous gas and contrast opacification that occured during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. This report demonstrates that portal vein cannulation may be a source of confusion because the guided wire trajectory inside the portal vein may be similar to that of the biliary, and a contrast washout/opacified portal vein may be misinterpreted as an incompletely filled bile duct.
