Introduction. An arteriovenous fistula is one of the complications that can occur during percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB). Hepatic with chronic bleeding from puncture site on skin an extremely rare complication following PLB. Case report. We present a 35-year-old woman secondary anemia caused by at granuloma previous performed 7 years ago. The patient was examined and treated for several due to ...

Even with the recent technical advances in the surgical procedures used for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), hepatic artery reconstruction is still one of the most difficult procedures in LDLT (Matsuda et al., 2006; Eguchi et al., 2008). Because hepatic artery complications in liver transplantation, such as hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) or hepatic artery dissection (HAD), often lead...

Some have been hypothesized to share genetic or immunopathogenetic factors, such as primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and autoimmune...

A 67 year old woman with widespread atherosclerosis and diabetic nephropathy manifested by nephrotic syndrome and moderate renal failure developed multiple hepatic infarctions. The infarctions were documented by computed tomographic scan and needle aspiration biopsy of the liver. Except for the nephrotic syndrome and the atherosclerosis no other cause of hepatic infarction was found. We suggest...

OBJECTIVE To determine the outcome of laparoscopic management of hepatic hydatid disease in terms of complications. STUDY DESIGN Case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Surgical C Unit, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, from February 2007 to March 2010. METHODOLOGY All patients with 3 or less hepatic hydatid cysts who underwent laparoscopic treatment for hepatic hydatid cyst disease we...

Fulminant hepatitis (FH) is a rare and devastating syndrome caused by a variety of hepatic insults. It characterized by severe metabolic derangements, neurologic complications and ultimately, multiorgan failure. Liver transplantation is the gold standard therapy for patients with irreversible FH. The major areas of current research in this field include the development of: hepatic support devic...

The correlation between portal vein pressure (PVP) and flow (PVF) has not been established, and there is still lack of consensus about the optimal hemodynamics during liver transplantation (LT). We aimed to establish the correlation between systemic and hepatic hemodynamics during LT by applying the hepatokinetic power hypothesis, based on the law of energy conservation and hydrodynamics.A tota...

Many diseases may present as acute hepatic failure in the pediatric age group, including viral hepatitis A and B, adverse drug reactions, both toxic and "hepatitic," and inherited metabolic disorders such as tyrosinemia, alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, and Wilson's disease. Management is primarily supportive, with care taken to anticipate the known complications of hepatic failure. Few "curativ...

introduction: to present our experience about the safety of conservative management in asymptomatic and non-complicated hepatic hydatid cyst in pregnancy.   methods: seven pregnant patients with hepatic hydatid cysts as an incidental finding in routine obstetrical ultrasonography were referred to our center during 2001 to 2008. three patients were visited in the second and the rest in the third...
