Simple hepatic cysts are common and most often asymptomatic. In symptomatic cases, hemorrhage, rupture, and infection are major complications. However, urinary tract obstruction caused by a simple hepatic cyst is rare. We treated an 82-year-old Japanese man with an infected giant hepatic cyst causing right hydronephrosis who had a past history of left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. The p...

The goal of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair is to obtain an unobstructed communication between the pulmonary veins and the left atrium and removing intracardiac shunting. However, pulmonary venous obstruction orstenosis may be seen in 5-10% of patients, is usually evident in the first 6 months following surgery and may lead to pulmonary congestion, pulmonary arterial hyperten...

Arterial pressure, portal pressure, hepatic venous pressure, and hepatic volume were measured simultaneously in anesthetized cats. When hepatic venous pressure was raised, hepatic volume increased at first rapidly then slowly. After 20 minutes, the volume increased at a steady rate which continued for at least 4 hours. During this period, the hepatic blood volume (Cr-tagged red blood cells) was...

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), a serious complication that mainly occurs after hematopoietic-stem cell transplantation (HSCT), is caused by damage to the sinusoidal endothelial cells after the obstruction of the sinusoid. Recently, hepatic SOS was reported to occur after non-HSCT chemotherapies. This report describes a patient who experienced hepatic SOS after non-HSCT chemother...

In total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), pulmonary venous blood flow abnormally returns to join the systemic venous tributary or right atrium, and the pulmonary vascular resistance may be elevated if a form of obstruction occurs in this circuit (1). Neonates and infants with obstructed TAPVC can present with severe cyanosis, pulmonary hypertension, and low cardiac output, requiri...

The hepatic venous outflow may be diminishing in right-sided heart diseases, constrictive pericarditis, obstruction of suprahepatic veins or an inferior vena cave. It was created an experimental model by obstruction of the suprahepatic veins lumen and inferior vena cave, too, at the adult Wistar rats. The animals were sacrificed in the 30 days after operation. At the iterative laparatomy it was...

Simple liver cysts are common, rarely causing significant morbidity or mortality. Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is caused by obstruction of hepatic venous outflow and is the leading cause of postsinusoidal liver failure. We present a rare case of BCS caused by a simple hepatic cyst. A 16 cm × 16 cm liver cyst was found on computed tomography of a 66-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain. T...

To report a non-fatal case of reperfusion pulmonary edema (RPE) after the removal of a hepatocellular carcinoma embolus, which had caused an acute obstruction of the tricuspid valve and pulmonary vasculature during a hepatic lobectomy. Pulmonary embolism caused by hepatocellular carcinoma embolus is extremely rare, and, in the present case, it was associated with unusual clinical features. A 69...
