Unique case of pelvic congestion syndrome caused by a new communication branch of the portal-vena cava system

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Congenital portosystemic shunt (CPS) is a developmental anomaly of the portal vein system. The disease can cause blood from the portal vein to flow into the vena cava, resulting in various atypical clinical manifestations. Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS)

Portal Vein Embolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma [PDF]

Liver Cancer, 2012
Portal vein embolization (PVE) improves the safety of major hepatectomy through hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR), atrophy of the liver volume to be resected, and improvement in patient selection. Because most patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have liver parenchymal injury due to underlying viral hepatitis or alcoholic liver ...

Liver venous deprivation versus portal vein embolization before major hepatectomy: future liver remnant volumetric and functional changes.

Hepatobiliary surgery and nutrition, 2020
Background We previously showed that embolization of portal inflow and hepatic vein (HV) outflow (liver venous deprivation, LVD) promotes future liver remnant (FLR) volume (FLR-V) and function (FLR-F) gain. Here, we compared FLR-V and FLR-F changes after

Intra-arterial ethanol embolization augments response to TACE for treatment of HCC with portal venous tumor thrombus

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus remains extremely poor. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the technical feasibility, effectiveness and safety of transcatheter chemoembolization for tumors in the liver

Controversies of preoperative portal vein embolization [PDF]

Hepatic Oncology, 2016
Portal vein embolization (PVE) is a safe, percutaneous procedure that has been proven to lower the complication rates of curative intent large-volume hepatic resection by inducing hypertrophy of the future liver remnant. While the safety and efficacy of PVE has been well substantiated, there remains controversy with regards to the technical details ...

Spontaneous inferior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula as a cause of severe portal hypertension and cardiomyopathy

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
Inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) and inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) fistulas or malformations are extremely rare, with only 36 cases reported. Low incidence and nonspecific clinical signs and symptoms make mesenteric arteriovenous fistulas difficult to ...
