Clinical Features of Portal Hypertension and Their Prognostic Implications in Patients With Autoimmune Hepatitis

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Features of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) in patients with autoimmune hepatitis indicate a substantial risk for decompensation and impaired transplant‐free survival. Non‐invasive risk prediction based on liver stiffness measurement ≥ 15 kPa and/or thrombocytopenia (< 150 G/L) serves as a valuable surrogate to identify patients at ...

Safety and Efficacy of Overdilation of 10 mm Viatorr Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Stents Using 12 mm Balloons

open access: yesThe Arab Journal of Interventional Radiology
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate overdilation of 10-mm standard and 8–10 mm controlled-expansion Viatorr stents to 12 mm during transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement when insufficient reduction (

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt through isolated persistent left superior vena cava: Case report and review of the literature

open access: yesAnnals of Vascular Surgery - Brief Reports and Innovations, 2022
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was routinely used via the right internal jugular vein to establish a shunt pathway from the portal vein to the hepatic vein for treatment of complications of portal hypertension.

Research Communication: The Cumulated Spontaneous Portosystemic Shunts (SPSS) Area Decreases After TIPS and Impacts on Prognosis

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This study shows that both the total SPSS area and the cumulative SPSS diameter decrease significantly and persistently after TIPS placement, whereas the total shunt diameter increases slightly and the total shunt area remains stable. The relative change in SPSS area serves as an independent predictor of mortality. ABSTRACT We evaluated the dynamics of

Alterations in Gut Microbiota and Metabolism in Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension: Implications for Disease Progression

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In‐depth multiomics analyses revealed that the gut microbiota in patients with CPH is dysbiotic. Altered gut microbiota plays an important role in the progression of CPH and affects the host's arginine metabolism to promote arginine biosynthesis. The pro‐inflammatory effects of certain gut bacteria induce iNOS expression, which together act on the ...

Massive avascular malformations causing life threatening portal hypertension

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2012
We present an unusual case of extensive avascular malformations (AVMs) causing non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. This phenomenon, though previously described, is a rare clinical entity which, in the setting of life threatening portal hypertension, may ...

Biomarkers of Extracellular Matrix Remodelling Are Linked to Severity and Outcome of Advanced Chronic Liver Disease

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling biomarkers reflect portal hypertension and disease severity in advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD). However, their predictive value for disease progression is largely restricted to compensated ACLD (cACLD). ABSTRACT Background Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling in advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) is ...

Trans-splenic Approach for Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) Creation in Patients with Portal Vein Thrombosis

open access: yesThe Arab Journal of Interventional Radiology
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using a trans-splenic approach for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation in patients with portal vein thrombosis. (PVT).

Indocyanine Green Clearance Correlates With Biomarkers Reflecting Key Disease‐Driving Mechanisms in Advanced Chronic Liver Disease and Predicts Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure and Death

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Indocyanine green clearance by pulse dye densitometry correlates with portal hypertension, systemic inflammation and circulatory dysfunction in advanced chronic liver disease. While diagnostic accuracy for CSPH was limited, ICG‐R15 independently predicted decompensation and ACLF/liver‐related mortality, highlighting its prognostic value across disease ...
