Percutaneous Transhepatic Angioplasty for Portal Vein Cavernous Transformation after Choledochal Cyst Surgery.

Indian Pediatrics 2016 December 16
BACKGROUND: Cavernous transformation of the portal vein rarely occurs after a choledochal cyst surgery.

CASE CHARACTERISTICS: A 7-year-old boy with a history of a choledochal cyst surgery was admitted with recurrent oral and nasal bleeding over next two years. After excluding coagulopathies and hematopathies, we treated him with percutaneous transhepatic angioplasty.

OUTCOME: The flow of the portal vein recovered immediately after balloon dilation. The patient's symptoms were relieved, and no recurrence or complications occurred.

MESSAGE: Stenosis and cavernous transformation of portal vein can be successfully managed by percutaneous transhepatic angioplasty.
