    Notes: Abstract The hepatic falciform ligament artery (HFLA) was evaluated by angiography and also by dissections. Based on the findings, the mechanism of the post-chemoembolization skin rash was studied. A total of 340 liver cirrhosis patients who underwent hepatic artery chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma were reviewed in terms of the angiographic incidence of the HFLA, variations in its origin, and the incidence of skin rash. The HFLA was demonstrated in 26 (7.6%) of the 340 patients on angiography. Two HFLAs were observed in one patient. The origin was the middle hepatic artery (A4) in 16 cases, the superior branch of the middle hepatic artery in three, the inferior branch of the middle hepatic artery in two, the inferior branch of the left hepatic artery (A3) in three, and the confluence of A3 and A4 in three cases. There were no patients who developed post-chemoembolization skin rash. Two cadavers were dissected to investigate the anastomosis between the HFLA and the subcutaneous artery. Two different anastomoses were found: (1) direct and (2) via the ensiform branch of the internal thoracic artery. These were located at the lower and upper part of the falciform ligament, respectively. The distribution of a chemotherapeutic agent through these anastomoses is the likely cause of post-chemoembolization skin rash. If prophylactic embolization of the proximal portion of the HFLA using a metallic coil is performed, the skin rash will be prevented.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'artère du ligament falciforme hépatique (ALFH) fut étudiée par des angiographies et des dissections. D'après les résultats, le mécanisme d'un rash cutané après chimio-embolisation est discuté. Un total de 340 patients présentant une cirrhose hépatique ayant eu une chimio-embolisation de l'artère hépatique pour un carcinome hépato-cellulaire fut revu en fonction de l'incidence angiographie de l'ALFH, les variations d'origine de l'ALFH, et l'incidence d'un rash cutané. L'ALFH fut objectivée angiographiquement chez 26 (7,6%) des 340 patients. Deux ALFH furent objectivées chez un patient. L'origine des ALFH était située sur l'artère hépatique moyenne (A4) dans 16 cas, la branche supérieure de l'artère hépatique moyenne dans 3 cas, la branche inférieure de l'artère hépatique moyenne dans 2 cas, la branche inférieure de l'artère hépatique gauche (A3) dans 3 cas, et la confluence A3 et A4 dans 3 cas. Aucun patient ne développa un rash cutané après chimio-embolisation. Deux cadavres furent disséqués pour étudier les anastomoses entre l'ALFH et les artères sous-cutanées. Deux types d'anastomoses entre l'ALFH et des artères sous-cutanées furent individualisés directement et par l'intermédiaire de l'artère xiphoïde et de l'artère thoracique interne. Celles-ci étaient respectivement situées à la partie inférieure et à la partie supérieure du ligament falciforme. La distribution de l'agent chimiothérapique par ces anastomoses est vraisemblablement la cause des rash cutanés après chimio-embolisation. Dans le cas d'une embolisation prophylactique de la portion proximale de l'ALFH par utilisation d'un coil métallique le rash cutané pourrait être prévenu.
