title: [99mTc-MAA enrichment in the liver during a cavo-portal shunt over a recanalized umbilical vein].
abstract: Lung perfusion scintigraphy in a patient suffering from superior vena cava obstruction showed distinct MAA uptake in parts of the liver due to a collateral blood flow through abdominal parietal veins and a recanalized umbilical vein. Radiation therapy of mediastinal lymphomas was followed by a rapid decrease of caval portal shunt volume.
