Article Abstract
Endovascular transshepatic access has limitations that can be exacerbated in the posttransplantation setting. Although several techniques are available for portal venous system catheterization, the transsplenic approach offers a direct pathway for accessing the portal venous system, as well as associated varices or shunts, while avoiding potential injury to the liver transplant. The purpose of this report is to present the diagnostic and interventional management of main portal vein occlusion in a 56-year-old female after liver transplantation. Endovascular transsplenic recanalization with stenting and shunt embolization is a viable method for treatment of main portal vein thrombosis in an adult liver transplant recipient.

Circulating proliferative factors versus portal inflow redistribution: mechanistic insights of ALPPS-derived rapid liver regeneration.
Front Oncol

Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Daping Hospital, Army Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Background: Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) can induce accelerated regeneration of future liver remnant (FLR) and effectively reduce the occurrence of liver failure due to insufficient FLR after hepatectomy, thereby increasing the probability of radical resection for previously inoperable patients with liver cancer. However, the exact mechanism by which ALPPS accelerates liver regeneration remains elusive.
Methods: A review of the literature was performed utilizing MEDLINE/PubMed and Web of Science databases in March of 2024.

Background: The presence of hepatic steatosis (HS) is a crucial histological parameter for evaluating the suitability of liver transplantation. However, to date, no studies have used contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) to diagnose and grade HS in brain-dead donors. This study aimed to detect and quantify hepatic microcirculatory perfusion in brain-dead donors using CEUS and to assess the utility of CEUS in the diagnosis and grading of HS.

Purpose: To report outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with lobar and segmental vascular invasion treated with resin Yttrium-90 transarterial radioembolization (Y90-TARE) with single-compartment MIRD (Medical Internal Radiation Dose) model.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective IRB approved study of patients with a diagnosis of HCC with vascular invasion undergoing resin Y90-TARE from 2014 to 2022 (n = 61). Patients with Body Surface Area dosimetry (n = 20), main portal vein invasion (n = 6) and patients with an ECOG of > 2 were excluded (n = 1) with a final cohort of 34 patients.
