Article Synopsis
- * Comparing mean arterial pressures (MAP) from the radial and hepatic arteries in 100 liver transplant surgeries, the researchers found a significant MAP difference (≥5 mmHg) in 7 patients, indicating potential inflow issues.
- * Interventions like splenic artery ligation and arcuate ligament division effectively normalized the arterial pressure in patients with the significant gradient, demonstrating the importance of monitoring MAP during liver transplantation procedures.
Background/aims: Obstruction of the main pancreatic duct in chronic pancreatitis (CP) leads to an increased intraductal and intraparenchymal pressure causing pain. In this study we evaluated the outcome of surgical treatment of CP including the quality of life following Partington-Rochellepancreaticojejunostomy (PRP) performed for intractable pain.
Methodology: Between July 2002 and May 2008, PRP was performed in 17 patients in whom the diameter of the main pancreatic duct exceeded 7mm and there was no inflammatory tumor in the pancreatic head.
Background: Vascular complications remain a significant cause of morbidity, graft loss, and mortality following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). These problems predominantly include hepatic artery and portal vein thrombosis or stenosis. Venous outflow obstruction may be specifically related to the technique of piggyback OLT.
