Cisterna Chyli Dilation Is a Risk Factor for Liver Nodules and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease: Pathophysiological Role of Lymphatic Dysfunction

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In Fontan‐associated liver disease (FALD), chronic congestion often confounds conventional fibrosis markers, complicating surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although lymphatic dysfunction is fundamental to Fontan physiology, its contribution to hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclear.

Perioperative Prophylaxis in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplantation: A Baseline Stewardship Audit Using Routine Electronic Data

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Using routine electronic data from 164 pediatric transplants, we created reproducible stewardship measures of perioperative prophylaxis practice across transplant populations and protocol pathways. Starting prophylaxis was reliable, but continuation beyond intended stop targets—especially in abdominal transplantation—identified the clearest target for ...

Phase I/II Prospective Study on Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Hepaticogastrostomy as Primary Drainage for Unresectable Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Various drainage methods have been used for unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO). However, controlling cholangitis and obstructive jaundice is still challenging. We performed a phase I/II study of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) as primary drainage for MHBO.
