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 ...

Balloon-Occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration versus Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt for the Management of Gastric Variceal Bleeding

Gut and Liver, 2018
Background/Aims Gastric varices (GVs) are a major cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. The current treatments of choice are balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) and the placement of a ...

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.

Portocaval shunts using gunsight technique in patients with portal vein thrombosis after unsuccessful portal vein recanalization

International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention
After unsuccessful transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement in patients with portal hypertension a direct portosystemic shunt can be created via an approachable method deemed the “gunsight” technique.

Kidney plays a major role in ammonia homeostasis after portasystemic shunting in patients with cirrhosis.

, 2006
Background & Aims: The kidney plays an important role in ammonia metabolism. In this study, we studied the hypothesis that the kidney can acutely diminish ammonia release after portacaval shunting. Methods: Thirteen patients with cirrhosis (6F/7M, age 54.

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 ...
