Okay, through the skin, sure, but what about the other 4 words? They go in through the skin into a blood vessel… to where?

Percutaneous: means “through the skin”

Transhepatic: means “across the liver”

Portal vein: a major vein that carries blood from the intestines to the liver

Transplantation: surgical procedure involving the removal of an organ or tissue from one person (donor) and placing it in another person (recipient)

Just use LLM these days!
