From: Accidental portal vein catheterization during pleural drainage catheter insertion: a case report
Illustrative images of interventional fluoroscopy and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) showcasing the portal vein. A Injection of contrast via the misplaced right-sided pleural catheter allows visualization of the main portal vein and its branches, confirming the catheter tip's location (White arrow) in the main portal vein (Star). B Following catheter removal and the introduction of a wire, a 10 × 7 mm vascular plug (White arrow) has been successfully deployed. C Digital Subtraction Angiography after vascular plug deployment reveals residual opacification in the portal vein branches (White arrow). D Two coils (White arrow) measuring 10 × 8 mm and 8 × 5 mm have been placed. E Final Digital Subtraction Angiography, following vascular plug and coil deployment, demonstrates complete absence of opacification in the main portal vein and its branches
