Abstract
Hepatic infarction after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma
Highlights
Hepatic infarction is diagnosed by the presence of a welldemarcated, low-attenuated, peripheral, wedge-shaped area on contrast CT imaging [1]
Unlike findings in other major abdominal organs, infarction is relatively rare in the liver
The rarity of hepatic infarction can be explained by the dual blood supply from the hepatic artery and portal vein, and by the extensive collateral pathways [3,4,5,6,7]
Summary
Hepatic infarction is diagnosed by the presence of a welldemarcated, low-attenuated, peripheral, wedge-shaped area on contrast CT imaging [1]. Supply, and the hepatic artery, which provides the remaining one-third of the blood supply [2].
