When most patients are diagnosed with the quiet progressed hepatoma which often would make the operation impossible, the Interventional Radiology hepatic artery embolization is an extremely useful method for such patients. An existence of the malfunction is evaluated by gaining a portal vein image as a delayed phase image after injecting a contrast media into the superior mesenteric artery. However, it is difficult to make a definite judgement due to the extended exposure time with the peristalsis and the intestine gas obstructing the sharpness of the image when the Patient exposure time increases and due to the increased usage of contrast media and its side effect. The portal vein can be evaluated by obtaining the MIP image after reconstructing a 3-dimensional personal computer setting using the 2-dimensional from an enhancement abdomen CT image that is almost a requisite in operation to a hepatoma patient. Such method nay prevent a decrease in the quality of image based upon the time delay and intestine gas; also, because the patient exposure dose and contrast media usage may be reduced, it is a new, valuable way to decide the operational matter of hepatic artery embolization on a pre-angiography.

Severe blunt abdominal trauma frequently involves the liver. The development of nonsurgical treatment of liver trauma has led to more frequent appearance of unusual complications. A hepatic arterioportal fistula (APF) is a rare complication of liver trauma. We present a case of traumatic APF in a patient with liver trauma. A 31-year-old male visited our emergency department with pain in the right upper abdomen following a traffic accident. Initial physical exam and abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed liver laceration with hemoperitoneum. An abdominal CT obtained on day 11 revealed early opacification of the right portal vein on the arterial phase. After we had come to suspect an APF of the liver, its presence was confirmed on angiography. It was subsequently managed by using transcatheter coil embolization. In patients with portal hypertension and no evidence or history of cirrhosis, one should consider an APF as a potential etiology if history of liver biopsy or penetrating trauma exists. In a patient with liver trauma, serial abdominal CT is important for early detection and treatment of an APF.

Purpose : Hepatic arterial perfusion scintigraphy with Tc-99m-macroggregated albumin (HAPS) study was carried out in 16 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and in six patients without liver tumor to evaluate HAPS findings of hepatocellular carcinoma and usefullness of HAPS. Materials and Methods : HAPS with planar and SPECT study were performed in 22 patients after conventional hepatic or celiac arteriography. For HAPS study, 4-5 mCi of MAA mixed with 2ml of saline was injected into proper hepatic artery or its distal branches at the rate of approximately 1ml/sec. We analysed 21 HCCs over 2cm in diameter(average diameter; 6.4cm) and 17 of 21 HCCs were over 4cm in diameter(Table 1). CT, sonography and angiography were performed within two week in all 16 patients and liver scan was performed in 12 patients. Results : Three different pattern of tumor perfusion were observed in 16 patients with HCC (Table 2). 1) diffuse increased perfusion in 16 of 21(76%)(Fig. 1) 2) increased peripheral perfusion in 4 of 21(19%) (Fig. 2) 3) diffuse decreased perfusion in 1 of 21 (5%) Arteriovenous shunt indicated by lung uptake of MAA were observed in 9 of 16(56%)(Fig. 4). In contrast, angiography demonstrates arteriovenous shunt in 2 of 16(13%). There was no accumulation of radioactivity on RBC-blood pool scan in all six patients with HCC examined (Fig. 1). Conclusion : HAPS is useful study in evaluation of perfusion pattern or vascularity of HCC and in detection of arteriovenous shunt.

국소진행성 췌장암 환자에서 이차적 근치절제 가능성을 얻기 위해 수술 전 동시항암화학방사선요법이 점차 많이 이용되고 있다. 대부분의 환자들에게 담도의 감압이 필요함에도 불구하고, 담도 스텐트와 동시항암화학방사선요법을 함께 시행하는 안전성에 대한 연구는 많지 않다. 저자들은 동시항암화학방사선요법 후 담도 스텐트에 의해 발생한 지연성 간동맥 출혈의 드문 증례를 보고하는 바이다. 추적 관찰 CT에서 담도 스텐트와 우간동맥과의 거리가 점점 가까워졌고, 결국 스텐트가 간동맥을 압박하여 간동맥에 심한 굴곡이 생겼다. 카테터 혈관조영술에서 우간동맥에 조영제의 혈관 외 유출이 발견되어 혈관 내 색전술을 이용하여 치료하였다. 본 증례 보고는 동시항암화학방사선요법 후 발생하는 해부학적 변형이 심각한 합병증의 원인이 될 수도 있음을 강조하고 있다. 간동맥이 담도 스텐트에 의해 압박되는 소견은 혈관손상의 경고 신호로서 주의가 필요하다.

Gallbladder injuries are rare in cases of blunt abdominal trauma and are usually associated with damage to other internal organs. If the physician does not suspect gallbladder injury and check imaging studies carefully, it may be difficult to distinguish a gallbladder injury from gallbladder stone, hematoma, or bleeding. Therefore, in order not to miss the diagnosis, the clinical findings and correlation should be confirmed. In the present case, a 60-year-old male presented to a local trauma center complaining of pain in the upper right quadrant and chest wall following a motor vehicle collision. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a hepatic laceration and hematoma in the parenchyma in segments 4, 5, and 6 and active bleeding in the lumen of the gallbladder. Traumatic gallbladder injuries generally require surgery, but in this case, non-operative management was possible with cautious follow-up consisting of abdominal CT and angiography with repeated physical examinations and hemodynamic monitoring in the intensive care unit.

64세 남성이 2미터 높이에서 낙상한 이후 심한 우측 옆구리 통증으로 내원하였다. 시행한 조영증강 전산화단층촬영에서 우측 혈흉과 다수의 우측 갈비뼈 골절 및 우측 장골의 골절 소견이 있었다. 또한 간 주변에 혈종이 있었으나, 간실질 외상 소견은 보이지 않았다. 먼저 시행된 수술 중, 간문에서 지혈되지 않는 지속적인 출혈이 관찰되었다. 이에 대한 진단을 위해 인터벤션 시술이 시행되었고, 최초 간동맥조영술에서는 출혈 소견이 보이지 않았다. 이어서 시행한 조영증강 전산화단층촬영에서 좌측 복부의 조영제혈관바깥유출이 보였는데, 이는, 경피경간문맥조영술에서 좌측 문맥의 출혈로 확인되었다. 이 지점에 접착제 색전술을 시행했으나, 환자는 끝내 사망하였다. 이 증례를 통해 복부 외상환자 평가에서 간동맥조영술이 정상이라도 간문맥 손상의 가능성을 고려해야 한다는 것과 복부에서도 반충손상기전에 의한 손상이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Purpose: Liver transplantation is considered as the treatment of choice in many acute and chronic liver diseases, and it is becoming more common. Since successful microscopic anastomosis of hepatic artery is a crucial requirement of successful liver transplantation, we studied and analyzed the result of hepatic artery anastomosis of liver transplantation in our liver transplantation center. Methods: 145 liver transplantations were performed between February 2005 and May 2008. Male to female ratio of the liver transplantation recipients was 3.4 : 1. Anastomosis of portal vein, hepatic vein and biliary tract was performed by the general surgeon, and anastomosis of hepatic artery was performed by the plastic surgeon under the loupe or microscopic vision. After the hepatic artery was reconstructed, anastomosed site status and flow were checked with Doppler ultrasonography intraoperatively and with contrast enhanced CT or angiography postoperatively if necessary. Results: Out of 145 liver transplantations, cadaveric liver donor was used 37 cases and living donor liver transplantation was performed 108 cases including the 2 dual donor liver transplantations. As for the baseline diseases that resulted in the liver transplantation, there were 57 cases of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma due to hepatitis B, taking up the greatest proportion. Single donor hepatic artery was used in 114 cases, and mean artery diameter was 2.92 mm and mean artery length was 24.25 mm. Hepatic artery was used as the recipient artery in every case except the 8 cases in which gastroepiploic artery was used as alternative. Out of 145 cases of hepatic artery anastomosis, 3 cases resulted in the thrombosis of the hepatic artery, requiring thrombectomy and re - anastomosis. In all 3 cases, thrombosis was found in left hepatic artery and there was no past history of hepatic artery chemoembolization. Conclusion: Incidence of hepatic artery thrombosis after the anastomosis of hepatic artery during liver transplantation was 2.1%, which is considered sufficiently low.

A 59-year-old man presented with acute dyspnea following sudden productive cough and expectoration of a full cup of "blood-tinged" sputum. He had been diagnosed with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma and had received transarterial chemoembolization 5 years ago for a 20-cm hepatic mass; he denied any history of hematemesis and the last esophagogastroduodenoscopy from a year ago showed absence of varix. Chest computed tomography (CT) with angiography showed new appearance of right basal lung consolidation but no bleeding focus. Despite the use of systemic antibiotics, the patient developed respiratory failure on day 7 of hospitalization. After intubation, a massive amount of brown sputum with anchovy-paste-like consistency was suctioned via the endotracheal tube. Bronchoscopic toileting was performed and the patient was extubated. In the ward, he continued to expectorate the brown sputum. On day 25 of hospitalization, a repeat CT scan showed simultaneous disappearance of the pneumonic consolidation and the necrotic fluid within the hepatic mass, suggesting the presence of a fistula. He has continued to receive systemic antibiotics, sorafenib, and entecavir, and follow up by respiratory and hepato-oncology specialists.

본 연구에서는 정맥경유 역동적 간 조영 컴퓨터단층촬영 검사와 동맥경유 역동적 간 조영 컴퓨터단층촬영 검사의 영상의 질과 선량의 차이를 분석하고자 하였다. 간세포암종의 중재적 시술인 경도관동맥화학색전술 대상으로 정맥과 동맥 경유 역동적 간 조영 컴퓨터단층촬영 검사를 한 케이스를 후향적 블라인드 방법으로 신호대잡음비와 대조도대잡음비를 분석하였다. 또한 영상저장 및 전송체계에 저장된 Dose Length Product (DLP)값을 이용하여 유효선량을 구하여 두 검사의 선량 차이를 분석하였다. 신호대잡음비는 정맥경유 역동적 간 조영 컴퓨터단층촬영 검사가 간과 지라에서 높은 결과를 보였지만 대조도대잡음비는 동맥경유 역동적 간 조영 컴퓨터단층촬영 검사가 높았다. 하지만 DLP와 유효선량 비교에서는 두 검사 간 차이가 발생하지 않았다. 결론적으로 동맥경유 역동적 간 조영 컴퓨터단층촬영 검사가 정맥경유 역동적 간 조영 컴퓨터단층촬영 검사에 비해 선량차이가 발생하지 않으면서도 대조도대잡음비가 우수한 검사임을 확인하였다. 추가로 간세포암종의 중재적 시술에서 가장 중요한 부분이 섭식동맥의 구분이 명료한가에 대한 구분이 필요하기 때문에 간동맥의 삼차원 혈관조영 컴퓨터단층촬영 검사에 대한 분석이 필요하다고 사료된다.
