Portal vein embolization following arterial portography for the management of an active portal bleeding after blunt liver trauma in a cirrhotic patient [PDF]
Background The management of blunt liver trauma in cirrhotic patients is challenging, because while bleeding is most often of arterial origin, the increased pressure in the portal system associated with cirrhosis can increase the risk of portal bleeding,

Portal vein embolization in intrahepatic portal vein injury after blunt trauma: a case report [PDF]
Mortality from hepatic injury has declined over the last several decades for various reasons, including nonoperative management, such as angioembolization, in more than 80% of cases. Conversely, surgical treatment is preferred in intrahepatic portal vein

Direct percutaneous access to an omental vein for embolization of Roux-en-Y limb varices in a child
An 11-year-old boy with a history of hepatoblastoma treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and liver transplantation presented with bleeding from Roux-en-Y limb varices. The transhepatic approach for portal intervention posed a risk of liver graft
