Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and direct portal pressure (DPP) in cirrhosis patients who still have esophageal varices (EV) after treatment to remove the underlying cause, even when HVPG is low (<10 mmHg).
- Ten patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or alcohol-related cirrhosis were examined, showing that HVPG correlates well with portal pressure measurements but doesn't fully explain the persistence of varices post-treatment.
- The research suggests that while HVPG reflects overall portal pressure accurately, the presence of varices after treatment needs further exploration, indicating a gap in understanding the benefits of treatment for patients with EV but low HVPG.
Liver transplantation (LT) remains one of the most effective treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and significantly enhances patient survival. However, the application of LT for HCC faces challenges owing to advancements in cancer-specific treatment modalities and the increased burden of patients' comorbidities. This narrative review explores current controversies and advancements in LT for HCC.

Accessibility of percutaneous biopsies in these grafts has not yet been assessed. We conducted a retrospective study including all pancreatic percutaneous graft biopsies requested between November 2009 and July 2021.
