Outcome of the Pediatric Patients with Portal Cavernoma: The Retrospective Study for 10 Years Focusing on Recurrent Variceal Bleeding

Gastroenterology Research and Practice, 2016
Background. Portal cavernoma (PC) is the most critical condition with risk or variceal hemorrhage in pediatric patients. We retrospectively investigated the patients with PC focusing on the predictors for recurrent variceal bleeding. Methods.

Hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement in pre-primary and primary prophylaxis of variceal hemorrhage

Annals of Hepatology, 2013
Pharmacological therapy of portal hypertensi¢n can be accomplished according to different objectives. Among them, pre-primary prophylaxis aims to avoid / delay esophageal varices development while the target of primary prophylaxis is protection against ...

Current concepts on the pathophysiology of portal hypertension

Annals of Hepatology, 2007
Cirrhosis of the liver is by far the most common cause of portal hypertension in the western world. Portal hypertension is a frequent clinical syndrome, defined by a pathological increase in the portal venous pressure.

The use of venous Doppler to predict adverse kidney events in a general ICU cohort

Critical Care, 2020
Background Changes in Doppler flow patterns of hepatic veins (HV), portal vein (PV) and intra-renal veins (RV) reflect right atrial pressure and venous congestion; the feasibility of obtaining these assessments and the clinical relevance of the findings ...

Comparison of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt with covered stent and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration in managing isolated gastric varices [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: Although a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is commonly placed to manage isolated gastric varices, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) has also been used. We compare the long-term outcomes from these

Risk Factors for Small‐for‐Size Syndrome Grade B/C After Simultaneous Splenectomy in Adult Living‐Donor Liver Transplantation

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In a single‐center cohort of 577 adult LDLT recipients who underwent simultaneous splenectomy, clinically significant SFSS grade B/C (ILTS‐iLDLT‐LTSI 2023) occurred in 18.2% and was associated with inferior graft survival. Multivariate analysis identified MELD ≥ 30, NLR ≥ 4.5, and donor age ≥ 50 years as independent risk factors, which risk rising ...

Prognostic Significance of Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Treated With Chemoradiotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To examine the significance of portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) as a prognostic factor for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery. Methods The study retrospectively examined 313 patients with borderline resectable (BR) or locally advanced (LA) PDAC who underwent CRT ...

Predicting Postresection Colorectal Liver Metastases Recurrence Using Advanced Graph Neural Networks with Explainability and Causal Inference

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a framework that combines graph neural networks with causal inference to forecast recurrence and uncover the clinical and pathological factors driving it. It further provides interpretability, validates risk factors via counterfactual and interventional analyses, and offers evidence‐based insights for treatment planning ...

Hemodynamic comparisons of different shunt positions and geometrical model simplification strategies in the simulation of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)

Scientific Reports
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a widely used surgery for portal hypertensive patients, whose potential postoperative complications are closely related to the hemodynamic condition of the portal venous system.
