<正>Objective: To study the causes and value of the pseudo-occlusion of the anastoraotic pathway between celiac and superior mesenteric arteries. Methods: 15 patients including 12 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and 3 patients with hepatic hemangioma underwent superior mesenteric arteriography （SMA） and celiac arteriography （CA） in interventional therapy. The angiographic features of the 15 cases were dynamically observed by 2 experienced radiologists in double-blind manner. Results: Similar interpretations were given by the 2 radiologists. In CA

pseudo-occlusion occurred at the bifurcation of the common hepatic artery and the celiac artery in 8 cases

at the bifurcation of the common hepatic artery and the gastroduodenal artery in 6 cases and at the bifurcation of the right hepatic artery and the celiac artery in 1 case. No occlusion was found in SMA and the angiographic wire and catheter could pass easily through the occluded regions seen in CA. Conclusion: Pseudo occlusion of the anastomotic pathw
