Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Reduction for Medically Refractory Hepatic Encephalopathy

Proceedings of IMPRS, 2021
Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established intervention for symptomatic portal hypertension. Following TIPS creation, 22-50% of patients experience hepatic encephalopathy (HE), with symptoms ranging from mild confusion to coma. While HE can be medically managed, refractory cases may require downsizing of the TIPS

Clinical Validation of Plasma p‐217tau in Neurological Diseases

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐217tau is a minimally invasive but specific biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its disease specificity remains to be clinically evaluated. We validated the reliability of the p‐217tau biomarker in 12 other neurological diseases.

Early postoperative interventional ASD-closure for severe atrial right to left shunt in a neonate with common arterial trunk [PDF]

, 2013
Although closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD II) with an occluding device in the first year of life is not a routine procedure, it is a feasible treatment, even in neonates.

TIPS Versus Peritoneovenous Shunt in the Treatment of Medically Intractable Ascites

Annals of Surgery, 2004
We undertook a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing TIPS to peritoneovenous (PV) shunts in the treatment of medically intractable ascites to establish relative efficacy and morbidity, and thereby superiority, between these shunts.Thirty-two patients were prospectively randomized to undergo TIPS or peritoneovenous (Denver) shunts.

Anesthetic management of children with medically refractory pulmonary hypertension undergoing surgical Potts shunt

Pediatric Anesthesia, 2023
AbstractIntroductionPulmonary hypertension in children is associated with high rates of adverse events under anesthesia. In children who have failed medical therapy, a posttricuspid shunt such as a Potts shunt can offload the right ventricle and possibly delay or replace the need for lung transplantation.

Randomized preclinical study of machine perfusion in vascularized composite allografts

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
This study was designed to identify the optimum machine perfusion parameters for preservation of limbs before transplantation, and determine whether this was better than cold storage. Normothermic machine perfusion at a pressure of 70 mmHg (NMP‐70) provided superior preservation to cold storage after transplantation.

Estimated central blood volume in cirrhosis [PDF]

, 1992
The estimated central blood volume (i.e., blood volume in the heart cavities, lungs and central arterial tree) was determined by multiplying cardiac output by circulatory mean transit time in 19 patients with cirrhosis and compared with sympathetic ...
