BackgroundStereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an emerging modality for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is scant information about its safety and effectiveness in the neoadjuvant setting prior to liver transplantation (LT). We present the clinical outcome and pathologic assessment of SBRT followed by LT for patients with advanced...

BackgroundThe role of platelets on the prognosis of patients with liver transplantation remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the influence of preoperative platelet count on postoperative morbidity after liver transplantation.MethodsClinical data of the patients who received liver transplantation from January 2015 to September 2018 were evalu...

Surgical Case Reports
BackgroundAcute obstruction of the hepatic vein (HV) or the portal vein (PV), particularly when it occurs during liver surgery, is potentially fatal unless repaired swiftly. As surgical interventions for this problem are technically demanding and potentially unsuccessful, other treatment options are needed.Case presentationWe report two cases of ac...

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a frequent infection site after liver transplantation (LT), and multidrug-resistant bacteria are common agents of those infections. This study aimed to analyze risk factors for SSI, including SSI caused by a multidrug-resistant microorganism (MDRO) after LT. We performed a cohort study of patients who underwent an L...

Polarized kupffer cells (KCs) influence the immune response after liver transplantation. We report an undiscovered immune regulatory role of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) on immune function of kupffer cells (KCs). Acute rejection model using rats. We found that suppression of XBP1s in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -activated KCs could increase the expr...

To evaluate whether Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) can identify liver donation after brain death (DBD) and cardiac death (DCD) with the risk of developing short-term primary graft dysfunction (PGD) or arterial and biliary complications within 1 year. Consecutive DBD and DCD donors who underwent DUS/CEUS e...

Case Reports in Gastroenterology
Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC/CCA) represents a rare type of primary liver cancer with a very limited prognosis. Although just recently genomic studies have contributed to a better understanding of the disease’s genetic landscape, therapeutic options, especially for advanced-stage patients, are limited and often experimental, as ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Despite concerns that liver transplant (LT) recipients may be at increased risk of unfavorable outcomes from COVID-19 due the high prevalence of co-morbidities, immunosuppression and ageing, a detailed analysis of their effects in large studies is lacking METHODS: Data from adult LT recipients with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV...

BackgroundThe formation of a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm in a liver implant is a rare but potentially fatal complication. Fistulization of such pseudoaneurysms into the bile duct is sporadic. The most common causes of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm are infection at the anastomosis site, inadequate surgical technique, and an iatrogenic origin due t...
