MDCT angiography to evaluate the therapeutic effect of PTVE for esophageal varices

Figure 2 Volume rendering of the multi-detector row computed tomography angiography data set during the portal venous phase demonstrated the esophageal-gastric varices and their afferent vessels before and after percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization. A-C: Volume rendering of multi-detector row computed tomography angiography data set during the portal venous phase demonstrates the esophageal-gastric varices and their afferent vessels (left gastric vein (LGV) only for A, LGV and short gastric vein (SGV) for B, LGV, posterior gastric vein and SGV for C); D-F: All varices and their feeding vessels are completely filled with cyanoacrylate (arrows) after percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization; no flow signals were revealed in any of the cases.
