  2. Hepatic artery embolization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_artery_embolization

    The several types of hepatic artery treatments are based on the observation that tumor cells get nearly all their nutrients from the hepatic artery, while the normal cells of the liver get about 70-80 percent of their nutrients and 50% their oxygen supply from the portal vein, and thus can survive with the hepatic artery effectively blocked.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_vein_embolization

    Preoperative PVE is a very well tolerated procedure with extremely low mortality rates (0.1 percent) and technical failure rates (0.4 percent). [3] Complication rates from the procedure are low as well (2–3 percent) and include portal vein thrombosis, liver infarction, necrosis, infection, pneumothorax, and other risks as listed above. [3]

  4. Embolization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embolization

    Embolization refers to the passage and lodging of an embolus within the bloodstream. It may be of natural origin (pathological), in which sense it is also called embolism, for example a pulmonary embolism; or it may be artificially induced (therapeutic), as a hemostatic treatment for bleeding or as a treatment for some types of cancer by deliberately blocking blood vessels to starve the tumor ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embolism

    In the first three months after infarction, left-ventricle aneurysms have a 10% risk of emboli forming. Patients with prosthetic valves also carry a significant increase in risk of thromboembolism. Risk varies, based on the valve type (bioprosthetic or mechanical); the position (mitral or aortic); and the presence of other factors such as AF ...

  7. Bland embolization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bland_embolization

    Transarterial bland embolization (TAE, also known as HAE) is a catheter-based tumor treatment of the liver.In this procedure, embolizing agents (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, gelfoam, acrylic copolymer gelatin particles, embospheres) can be delivered through the tumor's feeding artery in order to completely occlude the tumor's blood supply.

  8. Arterial embolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_embolism

    Arterial embolism is a sudden interruption of blood flow to an organ or body part due to an embolus adhering to the wall of an artery blocking the flow of blood, [1] the major type of embolus being a blood clot (thromboembolism).

  9. Ischemic hepatitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_hepatitis

    Ischemic hepatitis, also known as shock liver, is a condition defined as an acute liver injury caused by insufficient blood flow (and consequently insufficient oxygen delivery) to the liver. [5] The decreased blood flow ( perfusion ) to the liver is usually due to shock or low blood pressure.
