Liver infarction produced by dual vessels occlusion due to trauma and TAE: long follow up using CT, US, and MRI

Med J Osaka Univ. 1993 Sep;41-42(1-4):23-7.

Abstract

The cause of liver infarction previously reported [1-4] are mainly due to occlusion of hepatic artery. Herein, we report the case of liver infarction resulted from simultaneous occlusion of hepatic artery and portal vein due to trauma and therapeutic transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), and we followed up the infarcted lesion with computed tomography (CT), ultra sonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR imaging) until it disappeared.
