Putting a new spin: MRI monitoring of hepatic artery and portal vein flow for response to bevacizumab in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our case report demonstrates the use of phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in monitoring the functional status of liver vasculature in a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) who was treated with bevacizumab. Our report provides additional information that can be further utilized in clinical settings and research.

متن کاملVariceal haemorrhage in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia.
Hepatic in involvement in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia can lead to cirrhosis and occasionally to portal hypertension and variceal haemorrhage. The ultrasonographic, arteriographic and histological findings are described in a patient with this complication. Hepatic artery embolisation proved unsuccessful in arresting repeated haemorrhage which was eventually controlled by hepatic arter...
