Abstract
Portal vein variations in Sri Lankan patients: a computed tomographic imaging based study
Highlights
Knowledge about the PV branch anatomy is essential in live donor liver transplantation, liver resection, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt insertion (TIPSS), portal vein embolization, etc
The primary PV branching pattern is reported to vary in 11% -21.5% of subjects even though this is less frequent than the hepatic arterial and hepatic venous anatomy variations [1,2,3]
PV anatomy was evaluated on 103 Computed Tomography (CT) scans
Summary
Knowledge about the PV branch anatomy is essential in live donor liver transplantation, liver resection, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt insertion (TIPSS), portal vein embolization, etc. The primary PV branching pattern is reported to vary in 11% -21.5% of subjects even though this is less frequent than the hepatic arterial and hepatic venous anatomy variations [1,2,3]. Detailed knowledge of the PV branching variations is important to plan the surgery and to avoid complications. No such case series of PV branching variations have been reported in Sri Lanka
