ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although intrahepatic arterioportal fistula (APF) due to acquired or congenital causes are infrequent, they are listed among the causes of portal hypertension.PURPOSE:
The aim of this study was to present the results of intrahepatic APF treatment with embolotherapy in six cases. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Transarterial detachable balloon and coil embolization was used on six consecutive cases with traumatic intrahepatic APF from 1989 to 2003. Six-month follow-up angiography was obtained in every case.RESULTS:
Successful disconnection of hepatic arterial and portal system was achieved in five cases. At least symptomatic improvement was achieved in one.CONCLUSION:
Transcatheter embolization may be the first line of treatment for intrahepatic APF.
