The Risk Factors for Bleeding of Fundal Varices in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis
Gut and Liver, 2013 Background/AimsThe relationship between portal hemodynamics and fundal varices has not been well documented. The purpose of this study was to understand the pathophysiology of fundal varices and to investigate bleeding risk factors related to the ...

L-ornithine phenylacetate attenuates increased arterial and extracellular brain ammonia and prevents intracranial hypertension in pigs with acute liver failure [PDF]
, 2009 Hyperammonemia is a feature of acute liver failure (ALF), which is associated with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain herniation. We hypothesized that a combination of L-ornithine and phenylacetate (OP) would synergistically reduce toxic ...

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 ...

HPB Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 315-318, 1994., 1994 A 50 year old man presented with sudden abdominal pain, abdominal distension and shock. At emergency laparotomy a large amount of blood was found in the peritoneal cavity. There was micronodular cirrhosis of the liver and the spleen was enlarged. The bleeding was traced to distended veins in the right paracolic gutter which were oversewn and the ...

Selective Variceal Decompression: Current Status
HPB Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 1-15, 1991., 1991 Since its introduction into clinical practice in 1967, selective variceal decompression by means of a distal splenorenal shunt (DSRS) has become one of the more commonly performed portal‐systemic shunting procedures in the treatment of variceal hemorrhage throughout the world. In addition to selective decompression of gastroesophageal varices, the DSRS

Reversal of Hypersplenism Following Orthotopic Liver Transplantation [PDF]
, 1989 The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of orthotopic liver transplantation on hypersplenism. In a 1-year period from July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1987, 196 adult patients underwent 233 orthotopic liver transplantations.

Journal of Digestive Diseases, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 200-208, March 2024.The gut–liver axis is discussed to play an important role in hepatic cirrhosis. Decompensated liver cirrhosis is often associated with portal hypertension, which can lead to a variety of complications. The application of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established treatment option for the complications of portal hypertension.

Biliary Stricture Following Hepatic Resection
HPB Surgery, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 181-191, 1991., 1990 Anatomic distortion and displacement of hilar structures due to liver lobe atrophy and hypertrophy occasionally complicates the surgical approach for biliary stricture repair. Benign biliary stricture following hepatic resection deserves special consideration in this regard because the inevitable hypertrophy of the residual liver causes marked rotation
