ABSTRACT
Objective To study the arterial portography features and the impact on surgical treatment of children′s cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV). Methods Angiographic findings of the arterial portography of 6 children with CTPV and its impact on surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Results Abrupt occlusion of the portal vein at the porta hepatis was revealed in 5 out of 6 cases, and a masslike network of intertwined veins around the porta hepatis and many small irregular veins radiating from the network to the liver were demonstrated. Both hepatopetal and reverse flow of collateral venous pathways were defined. Valuable information of correlative vessels for surgical treatment was obtained from all 6 angiographic findings. ConclusionChildren′s CTPV have very characteristic angiographic findings, which can be very helpful for surgical management.
