Abstract

The aim of this study was to retrospectively review the cases of hepatic infarction diagnosed at our institute using conventional, spiral and multislice computed tomography (CT) over the last decade in order to describe its morphological and density characteristics and define its possible etiopathogenesis. Twenty-three consecutive patients aged 27-65 years with hepatic infarction were studied by CT at our institute over a period of about 10 years. A conventional CT unit was used in seven patients, a helical CT scanner in ten and a multislice CT in six. CT was performed before and after the administration of 130-150 cc of contrast material infused at a rate of 3-3.5 ml/s. CT showed hepatic infarction due to arterial causes in 19 cases, 11 of which were in liver transplant patients. The infarction was related to right hepatic artery embolisation to control haemorrhage (one case), chemoembolisation of a multifocal hepatocarcinoma in a cirrhotic liver (one case), arterial mesenteric infarction due to thromboembolism (two cases), necrotising pancreatitis (one case), surgery in pancreatic cancer invading the hepatic artery (one case), pancreaticoduodenectomy (two cases), portal thrombosis in a young woman with pregnancy-related clott...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
