Unilateral Giant Varicocele Mimicking Inguinal Hernia Resulting from Portosystemic Shunt without Evidence of Portal Hypertension: An Unusual Case Report

Case Reports in Surgery, 2013
Isolated giant varicocele has been reported with portal hypertension that results in abnormal communication between portal venous system and testicular vein venous system resulting in retrograde backflow of blood into the testicular venous system which ...

Non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis

International Journal of Advanced Medical and Health Research, 2014
Portal hypertension occurs commonly in patients with cirrhosis and rarely in those without cirrhosis of liver. The two most important causes of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension are non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF) and extrahepatic portal venous ...

Oesophageal Variceal-Pulmonary Venous Fistula - A Rare Cause of a Right-to-Left Shunt

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2020
Oesophageal varices are a dilated submucosal venous plexus in the lower third of the oesophagus which result from increased pressure in the portal venous system. The portal system is connected to the systemic circulation in specific locations referred to

Cancer-Associated Thrombosis in Cirrhotic Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma. [PDF]

, 2018
It is common knowledge that cancer patients are more prone to develop venous thromboembolic complications (VTE). It is therefore not surprising that patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) present with a significant risk of VTE, with the portal vein

Combination of Inferior Vena Cava Diameter, Hepatic Venous Flow, and Portal Vein Pulsatility Index: Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VEXUS Score) in Predicting Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Cardiorenal Syndrome: A Prospective Cohort Study

Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2020
Background Fluid overload is deleterious in critically ill patients. It can lead to venous congestion, thereby increasing venous pressure, theoretically increasing the backpressure, and thereby reducing renal blood flow.

NG-Nitro-L-arginine Methyl Ester, but Not Methylene Blue, Attenuates Anaphylactic Hypotension in Anesthetized Mice

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
To clarify the role of NO in mouse anaphylactic hypotension, effects of a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), on antigen-induced hypotension and portal hypertension were determined in anesthetized BALB/c mice.

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).

Cirrhosis and portal hypertension: The importance of risk stratification, the role of hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement.

World Journal of Hepatology, 2015
Portal hypertension is the main prognostic factor in cirrhosis. The recent emergence of potent antiviral drugs and new algorithm of treatment for the management of complications due to portal hypertension have sensibly changed our perception of cirrhosis
