Portal Venous Pressure Variation during Hepatectomy: A Prospective Study [PDF]
Acta Médica Portuguesa, 2019 Introduction: Excessive portal venous pressure in the liver remnant is an independent factor in the occurrence of posthepatectomy liver failure and small-for-size syndrome. The baseline portal pressure prior to hepatectomy was not considered previously.

The role of portal pressure in the severity of bleeding in portal hypertensive rats [PDF]
Hepatology, 2000 The aim of this study was to investigate the role of portal hypertension determining the severity of bleeding in portal hypertensive rats. The effects of section of branches of the ileocolic vein were studied in sham-operated (SO), partial portal vein-ligated (PPVL), and common bile duct-ligated (CBDL) rats.

Terutroban, A TP-receptor antagonist, reduces portal pressure in cirrhotic rats [PDF]
Hepatology, 2013 Increased production of vasoconstrictive prostanoids, such as thromboxane A2 (TXA2 ), contributes to endothelial dysfunction and increased hepatic vascular tone in cirrhosis.

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY INTO THE CAUSE OF THE INCREASED PORTAL PRESSURE IN PORTAL CIRRHOSIS [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1907 1. In the liver of portal cirrhosis there is a far freer communication between the arterial and portal currents than in the normal liver. 2. Factors contributing to the increased portal pressure in portal cirrhosis are (1) the direct communication of the arterial pressure to the portal vessels through dilated capillaries, (2) the larger ...

Patient Portal Use and Blood Pressure Control in Newly Diagnosed Hypertension [PDF]
Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, 2016 Background: Current evidence that patient portal use improves disease management is inconclusive. Randomized controlled trials have found no benefit of Web-based patient-provider communication for blood pressure (BP) control, but patients from these ...

Portal Hypertensive Colopathy: Endoscopic Findings and the Relation to Portal Pressure.
Internal Medicine, 1995 Portal hypertensive colopathy (PHC) is a new clinical entity in patients with liver cirrhosis. In this study, colonoscopic findings and clinical features including upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and hepatic hemodynamics were prospectively investigated among 35 PH patients with a hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) of greater than 12 mmHg due to ...

EUS-guided portal pressure measurement (with videos)
Endoscopic Ultrasound, 2018 A growing number of studies have explored EUS-guided vascular catheterization due to the relative proximity of the gastrointestinal tract to the major blood vessels of the mediastinum and abdomen. In particular, EUS-guided access of the portal vein (PV) may be favorable given the relative difficulty of PV access through standard percutaneous routes ...

The role of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in patients with portal hypertension: Advantages and pitfalls [PDF]
Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2022 Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective interventional procedure to relieve portal hypertension, which is a main mechanism for the development of complications of liver cirrhosis (LC), such as variceal hemorrhage, ascites ...
