AI Article Synopsis
- Abdominal venous thrombosis can manifest as Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) related to obstruction of the hepatic vein or inferior vena cava (IVC) or as extra hepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) from portal or mesenteric vein thrombosis.
- Cases featuring multiple abdominal venous obstructions, such as thrombosis of the IVC, hepatic vein, portal vein, and renal vein, are extremely rare.
- The report discusses a unique case involving thrombosis in these veins alongside deficiencies in protein S and protein C, which was treated effectively with anticoagulant therapy.
Article Abstract
Abdominal venous thrombosis may present either as Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) caused by hepatic vein or proximal inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction or as an extra hepatic portal obstruction (EHPVO) caused by Portal vein thrombosis or mesenteric vein thrombosis, but a mixed involvement is uncommon. Multiple abdominal venous obstructions presenting with thrombosis of hepatic vein, IVC, portal vein and renal vein are very rarely seen . We are reporting a rare case with thrombosis of IVC, hepatic vein, portal vein and renal vein, with protein S and protein C deficiencies, which was managed by giving anticoagulant therapy.

Background: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is increasingly used to preserve and assess donor livers prior to transplantation. Due to its success, it is expected that more centers will start using this technology. However, NMP may also cause adverse effects.

Backgrounds/aims: Transmembrane 4 L six family member 1 (TM4SF1) is highly expressed in and contributes to the progression of various malignancies. However, how it modulates hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression and senescence remains to be elucidated.
Methods: TM4SF1 expression in HCC samples was evaluated using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.

surgery and autotransplantation may provide a promising option for radical resection of conventionally unresectable liver tumors. Two cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which has an "awkward seat" located in the "intrahepatic vascular triangle area (IVTA)" that consists of the middle hepatic vein (MHV), the right branches of the Glisson sheath, and the inferior vena cava (IVC), underwent extended right-half hepatectomy followed by tumor resection and partial liver autotransplantation. Innovatively, the outflow of the tumor-free liver was reconstructed using pre-frozen allograft blood vessels from brain-dead donors; the patients recovered well postoperation.

The surgical management of hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer may range from segmental resections to major or extended hepatectomies. The aim is to achieve complete removal of metastatic lesions while preserving adequate liver function. We present the case of a 42-year-old male patient with a history of glucose intolerance who presented with altered bowel movements and abdominal pain.

Hepatectomy is the curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with targeted therapy used when resection is difficult. In this rare case, the tumor shrank with targeted therapy, enabling radical treatment through conversion surgery. The patient, a man in his 70s, developed an 11.
