MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Markers of Angiogenesis Associated with Surgical Attenuation of Congenital Portosystemic Shunts in Dogs [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Dogs with congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) have hypoplasia of the intrahepatic portal veins. Surgical CPSS attenuation results in the development of the intrahepatic portal vasculature, the precise mechanism for which is unknown ...

Type II Abernethy Malformation: A Rare Cause of Hepatic Encephalopathy in Adulthood

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2022
Abernethy malformation is a rare congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt with variable clinical manifestations, mainly associated with the portosystemic shunt. Hepatic encephalopathy can be the first manifestation.

The effect of different types of hepatic injury on the estrogen and androgen receptor activity of liver [PDF]

, 1989
Mammalian liver contains receptors for both estrogens and androgens. Hepatic regeneration after partial hepatectomy in male rats is associated with a loss of certain male-specific hepatic characteristics.

Abernethy malformation: A comprehensive review

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2022
Abernethy malformation is a rare condition in which portomesenteric blood bypasses the liver and drains into the systemic vein through a partial or complete shunt. It is categorised into two types on the basis of the shunt pattern between the portal vein

Embolization of a paraumbilical shunt by the transparaumbilical venous approach and one-sheath inverse method: A case report

Radiology Case Reports, 2020
We describe treatment of a 53-year-old man with chronic hepatic encephalopathy. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a recanalized paraumbilical vein as a portosystemic shunt connecting the left branch of the portal vein and bilateral iliac

A Comparative Study of Ultrasonography and CT Venography in the Diagnosis of Budd‐Chiari Syndrome

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Budd‐Chiari syndrome (BCS) is characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction from the hepatic veins to the junction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrium. Ultrasound (US) and CT venography (CTV) are used as imaging techniques for the diagnosis of BCS, and We compared the diagnostic efficacy of the two modalities. The results showed that

Pre‐ and Post‐Interventional Hemodynamic Characterization of the Femoropopliteal Artery Using Vector Flow Imaging in Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The femoropopliteal (FP) artery is the most frequently revascularized segment in peripheral artery disease (PAD), followed by the iliac segment. Wall shear stress (WSS) is a key local factor implicated in both atherosclerotic plaque formation and restenosis after angioplasty.
