(A) CT angiogram performed 2 years after the first episodes of stomal bleeding in patient 7. The study was performed during selective injection of iodinated contrast medium into her superior mesenteric artery with scans obtained during the portal venous phase. Tortuous dilated veins are present at the left-sided ileostomy. (B) Reprojected CT image from the same study during the portal venous phase (anteroposterior view of the abdomen). The patient has chronic occlusion of the main portal vein, immediately superior to the superior mesenteric vein (open arrow). The veins of the stoma (solid arrow) are enlarged, congested, and in communication with multiple prominent body wall collateral vessels (curved arrows).
