Percutaneous transhepatic portography in pancreatobiliary carcinoma: Evaluation of resectability

Abstract: Direct portography using the percutaneous, transhepatic approach provides a rapid and accurate visualization of the portal, splenic, and superior mesenteric veins. In 7 patients with a malignant tumor of the pancreatobiliary region and in 1 patient with pancreatitis, the method was reliable in predicting resectability of the lesion.Pancreatic carcinoma is responsible for an increasing number of deaths. With the more widespread use of pancreatic imaging techniques such as computed tomography, ultrasound, endosc… Show more

“…Percutaneous transhepatic portography is safe, easy to perform, and capable of producing high-quality images. Despite the invasive nature of the procedure, this modality is valuable for detailed and accurate preoperative evaluation of the portal venous system [5,8,9]. In the future, however, advances in technology will offer high-quality three-dimensional images by multislice helical CT, which will surpass PTP.…”
