Figure 3 Pictures taken during operation of a 55-year-old male patient with hepatitis B cirrhosis and primary liver cancer with main portal vein tumor thrombus. The patient was treated with percutaneous liver puncture and ¹²⁵I implantation combined with portal vein stent implantation. A: Percutaneous transhepatic portal venography showing proximal and left branch of portal vein tumor thrombus (long white arrow); B: X-ray showing vein stent (short white arrow), catheter between the stent and tumor thrombus (long white arrow); C: X-ray showing ¹²⁵I between the stent and tumor thrombus (long white arrow); D: Postoperative portal vein angiography showing patency of stent blood flow (long white arrow); E: 18 mo after the operation, enhanced computed tomography showed that blood flow in the splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, portal vein and stent was good.
