Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The falciform artery (FA) is a branch of the middle or left hepatic artery that runs within the falciform ligament and supplies the periumbilical soft tissue of the abdomen. A 55-year-old man with hepatic carcinoid metastases underwent Yttrium-90 (Y-90) mapping. Tc-99m macroaggregated albumin (MAA) uptake in the anterior abdominal wall, consistent with FA uptake, was identified. At the time of repeat angiography, the FA was detected and coil embolized. Repeat Tc-99m MAA study showed no uptake in the anterior abdominal wall, consistent with appropriate embolization. Tc-99m MAA study confirmed the effectiveness of coil embolization of the FA, facilitating successful Y-90 infusion without complications. |
