Esophageal Varices Bleeding in Portal Hypertension Due to Portal Vein and Splenic Vein Obstruction [PDF]
, 2002 Based on its relation to the liver sinusoid, increased pressure of portal vein can occur at three levels: presinusoid, sinusoid ,and postsinusoid. Obstruction of the presinusoid veins can be caused by extra- hepatic condition such as venous thrombosis ...

Portal hypertension in cirrhosis: Pathophysiological mechanisms and therapyKey points
JHEP Reports, 2021 Summary: Portal hypertension, defined as increased pressure in the portal vein, develops as a consequence of increased intrahepatic vascular resistance due to the dysregulation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and hepatic stellate cells ...

Managing portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis
F1000Research, 2018 Portal hypertension is one cause and a part of a dynamic process triggered by chronic liver disease, mostly induced by alcohol or incorrect nutrition and less often by viral infections and autoimmune or genetic disease.

Etiology and Clinical Outcome of Budd-Chiari Syndrome and Portal Vein Thrombosis [PDF]
, 2010 The liver receives approximately one-third of the resting cardiac output. Blood flow to the liver is supplied by both an arterial (hepatic artery) and a venous (portal vein) system and three hepatic veins provide drainage of blood from the liver to the ...

Intestinal transplantation in children under FK 506 immunosuppression [PDF]
, 1993 Intestinal transplantation, solitary (n = 3) or in combination with the liver (n = 7), was performed in 10 pediatric patients with intestinal failure. The liver was only replaced if there was liver failure and portal hypertension.

Failure of Splenectomy to Ameliorate Portal Hypertension in Myeloproliferative Disorders
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994 The correct treatment of portal hypertension associated with myeloproliferative disorders remains uncertain. Splenectomy has been advocated by some to eliminate the forward flow component of the portal hypertension and thus reduce portal pressure.
