Abstract
The first hepatic vein catheterizations were performed in 1951 by Rappaport in dogs. In 1953 the technique was applied to humans by Tori for the diagnosis of neoplastic obstructions of the right hepatic vein. The same year, Norhagen obtained good opacification of the hepatic vein by inferior caval injection after occlusion of the inferior vena cava by a balloon placed in the atrium, and by increased intrathoracic pressure. Unfortunately this method brought severe complications, i.e., collapsus and arrhythmia. Also in the same year, Steinbach performed an inadvertent hepatic parenchymal injection by attempting splenoportography, and hence opacified the superior hepatic veins of the left liver lobe.
