“…It was also reported that infarction occurred without vascular occlusion in the setting of shock, biliary disease, or anesthesia, presumably secondary to diminished hepatic blood flow. 7,8 We speculate that possible causes of the hepatic infarction were inadvertent injury of the hepatic artery during lymph node dissection in five patients. However, there is also a possibility that microthromboemboli from atherosclerotic lesion induced diminished hepatic arterial flow.…”

“…This may be due to the abundance of collateral vessels between hepatic artery and portal vein within the cirrhotic liver [27]. The portal vein supplies approximately 70%-80% of hepatic blood flow, with the remainder supplied by the hepatic artery [28].…”

“…In series of cases of hepatic infarction, occlusion of one or several of the major vessels by thrombosis or arteriosclerosis was the most frequent etiologic factor (5,6). Infarcts of the liver have also resulted from widespread thrombosis of portal vein radicles by transplanted pancreatic islet tissue (i'), and from fibrin deposits in sinusoids and small portal veins in toxemia of pregnancy (8) and host-vs.-graft reaction in mice (9).…”

Subcapsular hepatic necrosis in orthotopic liver allografts

Five cases of subcapsular liver necrosis were found in a series of 55 hepatic orthotopic allografts examined at hepatectomy or autopsy during a 3-yr period at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. There was a pronounced rise in liver enzymes in the first few days in all of the cases after transplantation followed by a decrease in values in four of the cases over the next few days. All were characterized by an irregular subcapsular band of necrotic tissue involving both lobes, to a variable degree, but most frequently the right lobe. There were no obstructions or occlusions of the extrahepatic arteries, portal or hepatic veins. Hepatocyte necrosis was frequently observed in periportal areas, although centrilobular necrosis was also common. Varying degrees of steatosis were seen in the rest of the liver. Various etiological possibilities are discussed, particularly the role of hypoperfusion. Focal subcapsular necrosis of liver allografts may be more frequent than is presently realized. Awareness that hepatic necrosis in allografts may occur as localized subcapsular phenomenon may prevent misinterpretation of superficial biopsy findings as being representative of the entire organ, thus over-estimating the degree of damage.
