VASCULAR DISORDERS OF THE LIVER
GIUSEPPE BRANCATELLI

Learning objectives
• To differentiate benign from malignant portal vein thrombosis.
• To correlate portal vein cavernomatosis with altered liver mophology
• To review imaging findings in vascular disorders of hepatic venous system (Budd-Chiari syndrome, passive hepatic congestion and veno-occlusive disease)
• To understand the physiological basis for perfusion abnormalities of the liver The liver has three vascular systems: the portal vein, the hepatic vein, and the hepatic artery. The venous systems of the liver are amenable to changes that cause circulatory disturbances, such as thrombosis, varices, and collateral veins.
