Hepatic Artery Pseudoaneurysms (HAP) after liver transplantation are rare and associated with high mortality. Different treatment options exist for HAP, which include surgical intervention, radiological coil embolization or stenting retransplantation. We describe a case of patient presenting HAP transplantion, that was successfully treated stent grafting, allowing preservation the arterial flow...

Recently, evaluation of hepatic artery variations has become increasingly important as liver transplantation from live donors gains in popular. Many diagnostic tools can be used to evaluate hepatic artery anatomy. Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) is one these methods. In this case report, we represent MDCTA findings of Michel type IV variation, which is a very rare conditi...

Patients with hepatic failure and liver-based metabolic disorders require management which is both costly and complex. Hepatocyte transplantation has been very encouraging as an alternative to organ transplantation for liver disease treatment, and studies in rodents, show that transplants involving isolated liver cells can reverse hepatic failure, and correct various metabolic deficiencies of t...

Hepatic and splenic microsomal electron transport system function, microsomal heme oxygenase activity, and microsomal drug metabolism have been examined in male Wistar rats bearing Murphy-Sturm lymphosarcoma 2 to 15 days following i.m. tumor transplantation. Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 and NADPH-cytochrome c reducÃ-ase activity decreased significantly [cytochrome P-450 nadir was 0.49 ± ...

AIM To introduce the American Pittsburgh's method of rapid liver procurement under the condition of brain death and factors influencing the quality of donor liver. METHODS To analyze 32 cases of allograft liver procurement retrospectively and observe the clinical outcome of orthotopic liver transplantation. RESULTS Average age of donors was 38.24+/-12.78 years, with a male:female ratio of 2...

The purpose of this study was to define parameters which could be predictive of hepatic artery thrombosis, which continues to be a major complicating factor in pediatric liver transplantation. The hepatic blood flow of 14 pediatric liver patients (15 grafts) who weighed less than 15 kg was measured electromagnetically during orthotopic liver transplantation. The results of blood flow determinat...

INTRODUCTION Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs during liver transplantation, tumor resection, hemorrhagic shock and veno-occlusive disease, and is a major cause of acute liver failure which associated with high morbidity and mortality. IRI in liver is also responsible for early organ failure and increased incidence of both acute and chronic rejection after liver transplantation. ...

Hepatic and splenic microsomal electron transport system function, microsomal heme oxygenase activity, and microsomal drug metabolism have been examined in male Wistar rats bearing Murphy-Sturm lymphosarcoma 2 to 15 days following i.m. tumor transplantation. Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 and NADPH-cytochrome c reducÃ-ase activity decreased significantly [cytochrome P-450 nadir was 0.49 ± ...

Hepatic vein stenosis after liver transplantation is a relatively rare complication that could even result in graft loss. However, it is difficult to arrive at a definite diagnosis at the early stage of postoperation, and there are few researches on ultrasonic shear wave elastography in the diagnosis of hepatic vein stenosis. We report the case of an 11-year-old male patient with cirrhosis due ...

After hepatic transplantation, liver allografts continue to produce donor-phenotype proteins and other synthetic products, allowing this operation to be used to correct numerous liver-based inborn errors of metabolism (1) . Because the same retention of donor specificity is expected after successful hepatic xenotransplantation, the consequence of successfully engrafting a liver xenograft could ...
