Hepatic Artery Lesions

Case–control study of calcification of the hepatic artery in chronic hemodialysis patients: Comparison with the abdominal aorta and splenic artery

“…Brooks 6 studied 400 autopsy cases and found arteriosclerosis: aorta 333, coronary 270, brain 132, renal 81, pancreatic 74 and hepatic 43. Postlethwait et al 7 surveyed the literature and found that the hepatic artery sclerosis was uncommon. They documented three cases of thrombotic occlusion of the major hepatic artery that induced hepatic necrosis or marked atrophy; two were due to inflammation and one due to severe atherosclerosis.…”
