Description: Portal vein thromboses (PVTs) are common in patients with cirrhosis and are associated with advanced portal hypertension and mortality. The treatment of PVTs remains a clinical challenge due to limited evidence and competing risks of PVT-associated complications vs bleeding risk of anticoagulation. Significant heterogeneity in PVT phenotype based on anatomic, host, and disease characteristics, and an emerging spectrum of therapeutic options further complicate PVT management.

Complications of twin pregnancy such as twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS), which involve placental anastomotic vessels, occur mostly in monochorionic diamniotic twins and they have rarely been reported in dichorionic diamniotic (DD) twins. Here, we report a case of DD twins diagnosed with TAPS with fetal hydrops caused by fetal anemia at 28 weeks, which resolved spontaneously during pregnancy. A 37-year-old pregnant woman was referred to our hospital because of a twin pregnancy at 13 weeks.

Decompensated cirrhosis has long been considered the irreversible end stage of liver disease, characterised by further decompensating events until death or liver transplantation. However, the observed clinical improvements after effective antiviral treatments for HBV and HCV and after sustained alcohol abstinence have changed this paradigm, leading to the concept of "recompensation" of cirrhosis. Recompensation of cirrhosis was recently defined by Baveno VII as (i) cure of the primary liver disease aetiology; (ii) disappearance of signs of decompensation (ascites, encephalopathy and portal hypertensive bleeding) off therapy; and (iii) stable improvement of liver function tests (bilirubin, international normalised ratio and albumin).
