Abstract
Lung perfusion scintigraphy in a patient suffering from superior vena cava obstruction showed distinct MAA uptake in parts of the liver due to a collateral blood flow through abdominal parietal veins and a reca nalized umbilical vein. Radiation therapy of mediastinal lymphomas was followed by a rapid decrease of caval portal shunt volume.
