Figure 1.

(A) Barium injection into the hepatic artery in an explant liver from a cirrhotic patient. The hepatic arteries are hypertrophied and tortuous. (B) Normal liver specimen after hepatic artery injection with dilute barium. The caliber of the intrahepatic arterial branches is markedly smaller than that seen in cirrhosis. (C) Venous phase of superior mesenteric arteriogram shows small-caliber portal vein with large splenorenal shunt. The loss of hepatic portal perfusion is evident in this image, with reduced portal flow secondary to both extrahepatic and intrahepatic portosystemic shunts.
