BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate angiographic findings and radiologic and clinical results of transcatheter @entity1416 (TAE) of the hepatic artery for @entity548 after upper abdominal surgery. METHODS: Ten @entity1 (nine male, one female, mean age = 63.5 years) with @entity86 underwent @entity99 . We retrospectively analyzed the angiographic findings and the effectiveness of TAE. RESULTS: Angiography demonstrated @entity2849 (n = 6) and extravasation (n = 5). Portal veins were not compromised in any @entity1 . The @entity548 points were at the gastroduodenal artery (n = 3), proper hepatic artery (n = 3), right hepatic artery (n = 2), left hepatic artery (n = 1), and intrahepatic artery (n = 2). Embolization was performed at the extrahepatic site (n = 6) and intrahepatic site (n = 4). TAE was successful in eight @entity1 . Hemostasis was achieved in eight @entity1 . Two @entity1 in whom TAE was not successful died of @entity548 after TAE. In six @entity1 whose collateral arteries were visualized at TAE, @entity1578 was avoided and the @entity1 had a favorable clinical course. CONCLUSION: TAE is a useful treatment for @entity86 , but the presence of collateral arteries at the time of TAE can affect the @entity1 ' prognoses.
