He underwent coil embolization of hepatic artery pseudo-aneurysm. The pseudo-aneurysm was successfully obstructed and subphrenic liver abscess was controlled. Super-selective trans-catheter coil embolization may represent an effective treatment for hepatic artery pseudo-aneurysm combined with subphrenic liver abscess in the absence of other therapeutic alternatives.展开更多

Methods Eight cases of trauma of the hepatic portal bile duct were reviewed. All short-term splits were treated with repair plus drainage with supporting tube. In 7 cases, there were combined injuries of 2 or more than 2 organs. The combined injuries were respectively treated. Long-term complication of bile duct stenosis was managed with internal drainage. Results Five cases were found during operation. Of these 5 patients, 3 were with the traumatic split less than 50% diameter and 2 with that more than 50% diameter. After repair,1 of the former 3 died and 2 remained in good condition. However, 1 of the latter 2 died and 1 was reoperated on due to bile duct stricture after the repair. Other 3 cases were found due to postoperative bile leakage. They were treated with internal drainage and good results achieved. Conclusion It is difficult to make a definite diagnosis of traumatic injury of hepatic protal bile展开更多
