Global Consequences of Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Liver ischemia/reperfusion injury has been extensively studied during the last decades and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of many clinical entities following hepatic surgery and transplantation. Apart from its pivotal role in the pathogenesis of the organ’s post reperfusion injury, it has also been proposed as an underlying mechanism ...

Improved Survival with the Patients with Variceal Bleed

International Journal of Hepatology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Variceal hemorrhage is a major cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. Over the past two decades new treatment modalities have been introduced in the management of acute variceal bleeding (AVB) and several recent studies have suggested that the outcome of patients with cirrhosis and AVB has improved. Improved supportive measures, combination therapy

Are TIPS Tops in the Treatment of Portal Hypertension? A Review on the Use and Misuse of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunts

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 14, Issue D, Page 122D-128D, 2000., 2000
Complications of portal hypertension are the Achilles heel of end‐stage liver disease. Although initially developed in the 1960s, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) have recently gained popularity for decompressing the portal vein in patients with portal hypertension.

Portal Decompression Using the Inferior Mesenteric Vein

HPB Surgery, Volume 10, Issue 6, Page 365-370, 1998., 1997
We report five patients with variceal hemorrhage, in three cases secondary to diffuse thrombosis of the portal, superior mesenteric and splenic veins. Mesenteric angiography demonstrated patency of the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) in each, and successful portal decompression by anastomosis of the IMV to the left renal vein (n=4) or the inferior vena ...

Extrahepatic Portal Hypertension following Liver Transplantation: a Rare but Challenging Problem

HPB Surgery, Volume 10, Issue 6, Page 357-364, 1998., 1997
This study reports our experience of 8 cases of extrahepatic portal hypertension after 273 orthotopic liver transplantations in 244 adult patients over a 10‐ year period. The main clinical feature was ascites, and the life‐threatening complication was variceal bleeding.

Liver arterialization prevents thrombocytopenia after portacaval shunt in rats

, 1987
A low platelet count is a common finding in liver cirrhosis. Clinical practice has shown that a variable number of cirrhotic patients in whom portasystemic shunting procedures have been performed does not recover from thrombocytopenia: this observation ...

Splanchnic Haemodynamics and Vasoactive Agents in Experimental Cirrhosis

HPB Surgery, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 83-88, 1994., 1994
It is well known that portal hypertension is associated with a hyperdynamic systemic circulatory state. This study measures systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics in an experimental rat model of hepatic cirrhosis. It also investigates the association between haemodynamic changes in cirrhotic animals and circulating levels of the vasoactive hormones ...
