[Interventional radiology of the liver and bile ducts].
Procedures of the liver and bile ducts performed under imaging guidance are directed to hepatic blood vessels, bile ducts or alterations of the liver parenchyma. Most of them are associated with the treatment of malignant tumors or complications caused by them. Embolization can be applied to treat tumors and hemorrhages caused by traumas or tumors. Vascular procedures are also applied to the treatment of portal hypertension as well as occlusions of the hepatic and portal veins. Tissue specimens of the liver and its focal changes, effusions associated with bile ducts, and intrahepatic abscesses are most commonly also channeled under imaging guidance.
