Effect of Propranolol on Portal Pressure and Systemic Hemodynamics in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension: A Prospective Study

Gut and Liver, 2007
Background/Aims: Propranolol can prevent variceal bleeding by ameliorating portal hypertension. We conducted this study to determine the effect of propranolol on portal hypertension and the optimal required dose in Korean cirrhotic patients.

Portosystemic collateral pathways and interventions in portal hypertension

Gastrointestinal Intervention, 2018
Pathologic increase in portal pressure can be caused by increased resistance to blood flow at the level of the portal vein (pre-hepatic), hepatic sinusoids (hepatic) or hepatovenous outflow (post-hepatic).

Portal hypertension contributes to ascites formation via the Piezo1−nuclear factor kappa-B−aquaporin1 pathway in liver cirrhosis

Experimental and Molecular Medicine
Portal hypertension is critical to the development of ascites in liver cirrhosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the contribution of portal hypertension to ascites formation and explore the underlying mechanism.

Refractory massive chylothorax following robot-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy with pericardial devascularization treated with trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: a case report

Frontiers in Medicine
The development of a chylothorax after robot-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization (LSPD) is rare. The robot-assisted procedure is similar to the standard LSPD, but surgeons must remain vigilant about potential ...
