A woman in her sixties with portosystemic shunt and hepatic encephalopathy underwent open mesenteric vein ligation, resulting in improved portal flow and blood ammonia. In this case, 4D flow MRI was a valuable diagnostic and follow-up tool, visualizing and quantifying physiological portal hemodynamics with features distinct from those of contrast-enhanced CT and digital subtraction angiography. Our case study highlights the value of 4D flow MRI for managing portosystemic shunts.
一名患有门体分流和肝性脑病的60多岁女性接受了开放性肠系膜静脉结扎术,结果门静脉血流和血氨水平得到改善。在该病例中,四维血流磁共振成像(4D flow MRI)是一种有价值的诊断和随访工具,可对生理性门静脉血流动力学进行可视化和量化,其特征与对比增强CT和数字减影血管造影不同。我们的病例研究强调了4D flow MRI在门体分流管理中的价值。
