BACKGROUND: We investigated spiral computed tomographic (CT) findings and underlying hemodynamic alterations in acute hepatic vein occlusion.
METHODS: In nine dogs, immediately after balloon occlusion of the right ( n = 4) or left ( n = 5) hepatic vein through the transjugular or transfemoral route, we performed single-level dynamic CT with intravenous administration of contrast medium. We created time attenuation curves of individual hepatic segments showing attenuation differences. To investigate underlying hemodynamic alterations, hepatic arteriograms were obtained in two dogs.
RESULTS: In all cases, there were three compartments with different time attenuation curves: normal, occluded, and adjacent. The normal compartment, which comprised segments far from the occluded hepatic compartment, showed the normal pattern of hepatic enhancement. The occluded compartment, which was the drainage territory of the occluded hepatic vein, showed high attenuation in the early arterial phase and low attenuation in the portal phase. The adjacent compartment, which shared the same portal vein with the occluded compartment and was drained by the patent hepatic vein adjacent to the occluded one, showed strong contrast enhancement in the late arterial and early portal phase. Spiral CT and hepatic arteriography demonstrated the arterioportal shunt and reversed portal venous flow in the occluded compartment, which drained into the adjacent compartment.
CONCLUSION: Acute hepatic vein occlusion on spiral CT appears as mild, early arterial, high attenuation and portal low attenuation of the occluded compartment and strong enhancement in the late arterial and early portal phases of the adjacent compartment due to arterioportal shunt and reversed portal flow.
