Hepatic Encephalopathy and Age Were Assessed to Ameliorate the Underestimation of the Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease Score in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score significantly underestimates 90‐day mortality in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients (AUC: 0.556) compared to non‐ACLF patients (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC]: 0.848).

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

Retrohepatic Vena Cava Encirclement, as Surrogate of Extensive Liver Manipulation During Caval Sparing Hepatectomy, Is a Risk Factor for Tumor Recurrence After Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction In liver transplantation (LT) with a caval sparing (CS) approach, the presence of complete encirclement of inferior vena cava (IVC‐E) by hypertrophic segment 1 increases the technical complexity of hepatectomy. Thus, in LT for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), It may be suspected that the resulting greater liver manipulation and ...
