Abstract

This case series describes the hepatic arterial communicating arcades and their importance in the endovascular management of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm, pediatric post liver transplant lobar arterial occlusion, and lobar arterial stenosis due to gall bladder carcinoma. We describe new types of arterial communicating arcades which have not been described earlier.

Keywords

Arterial communicating arcades - embolization - gall bladder carcinoma - hepatic artery - liver transplantation - pseudoaneurysm
