Angioembolization of Post-traumatic Intrahepatic Arterioportal Fistula Presenting With Portal Hypertension.

Traumatic hepatic arterioportal fistula is an abnormal communication between the hepatic artery and portal vein and is a rare cause of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension with delayed presentation, usually after a remote history of abdominal trauma or an interventional procedure. This case report is of one such rare presentation, wherein a 59-year-old gentleman presented with unexplained ascites and complications of portal hypertension, eventually diagnosed with an arterioportal fistula on a computed tomography scan and managed by angioembolization. There was a remarkable improvement in the complications of portal hypertension after the coil embolization.
