ABSTRACT Background and Aims The severe alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) genotype Pi*ZZ increases the risk of liver disease (AATD‐LD) and lung disease. While non‐invasive tests (NITs) are widely used for fibrosis stage and monitoring of all liver diseases, the consensus for use in AATD‐LD is limited.

Endoscopic Variceal Ligation for Treatment of Bleeding Varices [PDF]
Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) was developed as an alternative to endoscopic variceal sclerosis (ES) because of the latter′s high complication rate. The new technique involves placement of small elastic bands around the variceal channels in the distal esophagus. Initial open trials with EVL showed that it was safe and effective therapy for bleeding

The presence of gastroesophageal varices (GEVs) following Fontan surgery (FS) could not be predicted by blood biochemical indices and other clinical factors, and contrast‐enhanced CT or MRI can be useful for surveying GEVs in patients following FS. ABSTRACT Objectives Liver cirrhosis (LC) is a common complication of Fontan surgery (FS) because of the ...
