Abstract

This review provides a comprehensive summary of the role of the interventional radiologist in managing liver disorders in children. Interventions are discussed with focus on indications for procedure, technical aspects, and patient management. Recommendations are supported by the most recent evidence and practice experience of the authors in the four subtopics, such as interventions in the post–liver transplant setting, for portal hypertension, for liver tumors, and for vascular anomalies of the liver, with emphasis on congenital portosystemic shunts.

Keywords

pediatric liver transplant - pediatric portal hypertension - pediatric liver tumor intervention - congenital portosystemic shunts
