A 68-year-old woman with a history of arterial hypertension and Gilbert´s syndrome was referred to a Gastroenterology consultation due to adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder. Additionally, laboratory results reveal changes on liver tests and an abdominal computed tomography (CT) was initially performed. An incidentaloma on the second part of the duodenum was described (arrow). Then, the upper digestive endoscopy...

Introduction: Excessive portal venous pressure in the liver remnant is an independent factor in the occurrence of posthepatectomy liver failure and small-for-size syndrome. The baseline portal pressure prior to hepatectomy was not considered previously. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of portal pressure change during hepatectomy on the patient outcome. Material and Methods: Prospective observation...

Introduction: Multiacinar regenerative nodules are benign hepatocellular nodules related to vascular disturbances of the liver. They strongly resemble conventional focal nodular hyperplasia but are connected to different clinical settings, typically chronic liver disease. The purpose of the present study was to describe the key imaging features of these lesions and compare them with a control arm of focal nodul...
Objetivos: Caracterizar a população submetida a embolização de malformações arteriovenosas extracranianas da cabeça e pescoço. Avaliar a eficácia e taxa de complicações a longo prazo destes procedimentos. Material e métodos: Estudo retrospectivo dos doentes submetidos a embolização no Serviço de Imagem Médica do Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra (Radiologia) durante o período entre janeiro de 2006 e ...
Liver MR is a well-established modality with multiparametric capabilities. However, to take advantage of its full capacity, it is mandatory to master the technique and optimize imaging protocols, apply advanced imaging concepts and understand the use of different contrast media. Physiologic artefacts although inherent to upper abdominal studies can be minimized using triggering techniques and new strategies for...
We report the imaging findings of an uncommon coronary vascular termination anomaly, with fistula to the pulmonary artery. This 70 year old female patient presented unstable angina, showing a coronary artery fistula depicted in coronary angiogram from the left coronary to the pulmonary artery, with no significant atherosclerotic pathology. Due to development of ventricular tachycardia in stress echocardiogram e...
