Article Synopsis
- - Intestinal pneumatosis is a rare condition, and its link to cetuximab, a cancer treatment drug, is even rarer.
- - Documenting these unusual cases helps enhance clinical understanding and serves as a reference for future situations.
- - Publishing this information may help doctors recognize and manage this complication earlier, improving patient care.
Article Synopsis
- Lack of research on treating refractory hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) post-liver transplant leads to this case study that shows promising outcomes using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
- A 59-year-old patient with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis faced severe hypoxemia and required intensive care, where ECMO was implemented after other therapies failed, resulting in significant recovery.
- The patient was discharged after 27 days with improved oxygen saturation and no symptoms, although he required steroids for acute rejection episodes.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the implementation of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol in cirrhotic patients undergoing liver resection, as previous research mainly focused on patients with normal liver function.
- Data was collected from 101 adult patients, with outcomes indicating similar recovery, hospital stay, and complications between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients.
- Compliance with the ERAS protocol significantly reduced complication rates, showing that using this approach in cirrhotic patients is both feasible and effective, yielding results comparable to those of standard patients.

- Reno-portal reconstruction is a surgical option for improving portal flow in liver transplants affected by complete portal thrombosis, especially when collateral veins are present.
- A 58-year-old man with cirrhosis and significant portal thrombosis underwent surgery, leading to the decision to perform a reno-portal and portoportal anastomosis to enhance blood flow, resulting in a healthy portal flow rate.
- Post-surgery, the patient showed good recovery and favorable liver function, demonstrating that combined anastomosis techniques can effectively address insufficient portal flow due to a small portal vein.
Article Synopsis
- Active infections in liver transplant recipients pose significant risks due to required immunosuppression, making them an absolute contraindication for the procedure.
- Despite successful treatments of viral infections like Influenza A in post-transplant patients, no prior cases have shown safe pre-transplant candidates with the virus.
- The mild symptoms associated with some viral infections, along with available treatments, suggest the potential for reconsidering liver transplants in selected cases with positive outcomes.
Background: Primary graft dysfunction is a common postoperative complication, lacking consensus regarding diagnostic criteria. Olthoff criteria are the most used, based on blood parameters in the first 7 postoperative days. This lack of consensus and late diagnosis evidence the need of early parameters.

Despite of this, in patients aged 70 or older there is a limitation for the implementation ERAS protocolos. The aim of this study is to evaluate the implementation ERAS protocol on elderly patients (≥70 years) undergoing liver resection.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Liver transplantation (LT) is a curative treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who are not candidates for resection. Despite the generalized use of the Milan criteria and up-to-seven criteria, new markers have been proposed to predict recurrence after LT. Biomarkers such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and scores such as the Model of Recurrence After Liver transplantation (MORAL) are used as predictors of post-LT recurrence.

The primary aim of this study was to assess the influence of bile duct diameter on biliary complications and to determine whether a critical diameter for such complications could be determined. The secondary aim was to identify additional factors associated with biliary complications.
