Radiotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma with hepatic artery/hepatic vein fistula: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with hepatic artery/hepatic vein fistula (HAHVF) is presented in this report. The patients developed a disease of a large mass with hepatic artery/hepatic vein fistula demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) scans as well as hepatic artery angiography, which had missed the chance for resection or liver transplantation. Little improvement was made after 1 time of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) based on CT criteria. Then he was treated with radiation therapy, by which the fistula had been completely obliterated and the tumor volume reduced significantly on CT 1 Month after radiotherapy. AFP backed to nearly normal. Then TACE was performed for the second time. The hepatic artery/hepatic vein fistula was occlusion showed by hepatic artery angiography and the tumor had almost been inactivated. Now he can be the candidate for resection or transplantation.

Despite surgical removal of tumors with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, early recurrence tends to occur, and overall survival (OS) periods remain extremely short. The role that hepatectomy may play in long-term survival for HCC with PVTT has not been established. The operative mortality of hepatectomy for HCC with PVTT has also not been reviewed. He...
متن کاملStent graft placement and balloon dilation for pseudoaneurysm complicated by distal arterial stenosis of the hepatic artery after pancreaticoduodenectomy
Hemorrhage from ruptured pseudoaneurysm is a rapidly progressing and potentially fatal complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Stent graft placement for hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm has recently been reported as a valid alternative to transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the common hepatic artery (CHA) with distal arterial stenosis treated b...
