title: [Portal hypertension secondary to an arterioportal fistula. Treatment by embolization].
abstract: We report a case of arterioportal fistula which was probably the result of percutaneous liver biopsy. Portal hypertension with hemorrhage by esophageal varices was the clinical presentation. We describe the features of the ultrasound, selective arteriography and Doppler ultrasound examination. The fistula was catheterized superselectively and successfully embolized with steel coils.
