Microbubble‐Based Ultrasound Contrast Agents in Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasonography for Managing Portal Hypertension in Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
As the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) remains the current gold standard for diagnosing portal hypertension in cirrhosis, its clinical application is limited by invasiveness, high cost, and restricted availability. Given the urgent need for noninvasive techniques to dynamically monitor portal vein pressure (PVP), contrast‐enhanced ...

Endoscopic Treatment for Esophagogastric Variceal Bleeding in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure: An Observational Study

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
In patients with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF), esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) represents a critical complication associated with high short‐term mortality. This study evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in this specific population and identified prognostic factors associated with 6‐week rebleeding and mortality.

A Case of Ileal Conduit Bleeding Caused by Porto‐Sinusoidal Vascular Disorder

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 60‐year‐old man presented with recurrent stomal bleeding for 3 years. He had undergone cystoprostatectomy with ileal conduit diversion for bladder cancer 7 years prior. Endoscopy revealed multiple protruding lesions (0.6–0.8 cm) inside the stoma, which were initially suspected to be ectopic varices given concomitant esophageal varices and ...

Preclinical Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of a Novel Controlled‐Expansion ePTFE‐Covered TIPS Stent in a Swine Model

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This preclinical study evaluated a novel controlled‐expansion expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)‐covered transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stent in 11 swine, demonstrating 100% technical success, excellent deployability, and durable 6‐month angiographic patency without thrombosis, migration, fracture, or device‐related toxicity.
