*uncommon total obstruction
===hepatic artery===
*will result in [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|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 - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] causing a reduction in organ size
NB: 70% of the blood supplied to the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] is via the portal vein but the hepatic arterial blood is the most important for [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] cell survival
