Per-rectal portal scintigraphy using I-123
IMP
was performed before and after TAE in 29 patients with hepatoma. Index of porto-systemic shunt (
PSS
index) was obtained by lung/(lung + liver) uptake ratio at 30 min after administration of
IMP
. The influence of TAE on portal circulation was evaluated by using this
PSS
index.
PSS
index increased 16 of 29 patients (55.2%) after TAE.
PSS
index increased after TAE especially in cases of severe liver dysfunction before TAE, marked portal involvement, and embolization of a larger liver volume.
PSS
index also increased when there was deterioration of esophageal varices, ascites, and hepatic coma after TAE.
PSS
index is useful for evaluation of portal circulation after TAE.
