- uncommon total obstruction
hepatic artery
- will result in liver necrosis
portal vein
- no hepatic change
- will cause infarction of the intestine
- if prolonged, it will diminish the supply of nutrient to the liver causing a reduction in organ size
NB: 70% of the blood supplied to the liver is via the portal vein but the hepatic arterial blood is the most important for liver cell survival
