  Background: Our aim was to study the ramification pattern of the Right posterior portal vein branch and to compare our findings to Couinaud classification of the liver. Study design: The study protocol was approved by the institutional review board and written informed consent was obtained from all patients before procedures were performed. Our study includes 104 patients, all were Chinese who underwent helical Computed Tomography during Arterial Portography (CTAP). Subsequently, 3 dimensional portograms were reconstructed to verify the ramification patterns of the portal vein. Portal branching patterns of the right hemiliver were assessed. Results: In all 104 patients examined, three distinct types of anatomical branching patterns of the Right posterior portal vein branch were observed: . Type I: In 52 patients out of 104 (50%), the Right posterior portal branch represents a si.. Read More»
