Table 1 CT angiography protocol

From: Efficacy and safety of endovascular therapy for delayed hepatic artery post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage: development of extrahepatic collateral circulation and complications of post endovascular therapy

1. Non-contrast phase

2. Arterial phase

- An automatic power injector was used

- A bolus of 600 mgI/kg of iodine contrast medium was administered at a rate of 3.0–5.0 mL/s for 30 s

- The arterial phase was obtained at 10 s after reaching 150 Hounsfield units, with the region of interest being situated on the aorta, at the level of the celiac artery

3. Delayed phase

- The delayed phase was obtained at 90 s after administering the iodine contrast medium

  1. All CTA images were obtained at end of inspiration. CTA axial and coronal images were reconstructed at a slice thickness of 1 and 2 mm for evaluation
