Background: Severe HPS increases morbidity and mortality after LT in children. We reviewed the combined experience of LT for HPS in children from two LT centers in Europe and Asia.
Methods: All children with "proven" HPS as per ERS Task Force criteria (detailed in manuscript) who underwent LT were categorized into M (PaO ≥80 mmHg), Mo (PaO = 60-79 mmHg), S (50-59 mmHg), and VS (PaO <50 mmHg) HPS, based on room air PaO .
Purpose: To demonstrate the utility of ultrasound (US) guidance in improving the safety and efficacy of transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) by analyzing all the TJLBs performed by us in the last 4 years.
Materials And Methods: Forty-seven patients who underwent TJLB in the last 4 years in our two centers were retrospectively analyzed. US guidance was used for all but for one patient during the two crucial steps of the procedure-for internal jugular vein (IJV) access and during the parenchymal biopsy.
Background And Aim: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or sorafenib is recommended for hepatocellular carcinoma BCLC stages B and C respectively. We studied the role of combination of TACE and sorafenib in BCLC stages B/C.
Material And Methods: We undertook an observational study on a cohort of cirrhotics with HCC from August 2010 through October 2014.
