The "Vessel through Strait" Sign is a Signature Radiological Sign for the Diagnosis of Left Hepatic Artery Variation.

Abstract:

:An aberrant artery (AA) can frequently be observed coursing through the fissure for the ligamentum venosum (FLV) which was termed the "vessel through strait" sign (VTSS) by us. Fundamental data including the incidence, anatomical composition and clinical significance of VTSS and the AAs composing VTSS are still lacking. We sought to give a systematic demonstration on this issue in the present study. VTSS was respectively analyzed in 2,275 patients and was observed in 357 of them. Interestingly, 319 (89.4%) out of the 357 patients exhibiting VTSS were proved to have left hepatic artery variation (LHAV) (247 with replaced left hepatic artery, 64 with accessory left hepatic artery and 8 with variant common hepatic artery). We therefore hypothesized that VTSS could be a sign that strongly associated with LHAV and could be used for its diagnosis. In the following validating analysis, VTSS gained a sensitivity of 96.3% and a specificity of 98.3% for the diagnosis of LHAV in another bicenter cohort consisted of 1,329 patients. In conclusion, VTSS is a signature radiological sign of LHAV which could be used as an easy and specific method for the diagnosis of LHAV.
