Feasibility of transfemoral hepatic vein/wedged portal venous pressure measurement in total artificial heart
The development of technology and limitation of numerous ventricular assist devices has increased usage of the total artificial heart (TAH) for mechanical circulatory support. A primary important feature of TAH is that it is one of the few mechanical circulatory support devices that provides biventricular support. As the number of patients with TAH rises, spreading awareness about the device in...
متن کاملThe role of hepatic arterial flow on portal venous and hepatic venous wedged pressure in the isolated perfused CCl4-cirrhotic liver.
In cirrhosis, hepatic venous pressure gradient is used to measure portal venous and sinusoidal pressures, as well as drug-induced decreases of elevated pressures. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of hepatic arterial flow (HAF) changes on portal venous perfusion (PVPP) and wedged hepatic venous pressure (WHVP). Normal and CCl4-cirrhotic rats were subjected to a bivascular l...
متن کامل[Studies on wedged hepatic venous pressure, hemodynamics and pulmonary function in patients with chronic liver disease, with reference to the differences between liver cirrhosis with chronic hepatitis].
In 17 compensated liver cirrhosis and 8 chronic hepatitis cases (no histories of cardiac or pulmonary disease), wedged hepatic venous pressure (WHVP), hemodynamics, and pulmonary function were measured and their clinical significance and interrelations evaluated. Both diseases were comparatively analyzed. WHVP was determined by wedging a catheter from the right femoral vein into the right hepat...
متن کاملAscites following portacaval shunting. Relationship between wedged hepatic venous pressure and ascites.
When present, ascites usually disappears after portacaval shunt. In an oc· casional patient, however, ascites may appear after portacaval shunt even when not present before operation. This work reviews the mechanisms of ascites formation following patent portacaval shunt. Hepatic hemodynamic studies were performed in 24 patients with alcoholic liver disease. The results suggest that ascites is ...
متن کاملMinimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Patients with Cirrhosis by Measuring Liver Stiffness and Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient
BACKGROUND/AIM Transient elastography (TE) of liver and hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) allows accurate prediction of cirrhosis and its complications in patients with chronic liver disease. There is no study on prediction of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) using TE and HVPG in patients with cirrhosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive cirrhotic patients who never had an episode of...
