| Summary: | To outline new modalities and techniques offered by Interventional Radiology (IR) in diagnosing and treating patients with complications
related to portal hypertension and techniques to induce remnant liver hypertrophy to enable hemi hepatectomy in Pakistan.
Known portal hypertensive patients were selected retrospectively including those for portal vein embolisation. Selected cases are presented to
outline the treatment modality technique and its effectiveness using minimally invasive IR-based treatment options.
Different techniques used by interventional radiologists are now also available in Pakistan and are paramount in managing the complications of
portal hypertension and inducing remnant liver hypertrophy.
Minimally invasive procedures offered by IR continue to evolve with technological innovations and are now available to manage complications
related to portal hypertension hitherto not thought of and which profoundly improve patient care. |
