Case 4: Imaging findings of a representative case of preoperative embolization of rRHA. A rRHA arising from SMA by CT angiography (white arrow). B CT scan showed the main tumor of pancreatic head cancer (red circle) had closely contact with rRHA, which ran into the parenchyma of the pancreas (white arrow). C Before embolization of the rRHA, the vascular supply to the right lobe from the LHA was scanty (red circle). D After embolization of the rRHA by the plug (white circle), blood flow of right lobe of the liver was supplied via the communicating arcade from LHA, which went through the hilar plate (red circle). rRHA replaced right hepatic artery; SMA superior mesenteric artery; CT computed tomography; LHA left hepatic artery
