Malpositioned endoscopically inserted biliary stent causing massive hematemesis managed with vascular plug and stenting
Diagn Interv Radiol. 2021 Nov;27(6):789-791. doi: 10.5152/dir.2021.20776.ABSTRACTA 46-year-old man with a history of hepatitis B cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) status post liver transplantation two years ago complicated by HCC recurrence and biliary stenosis presented with hypovolemic shock and melena one month after endoscopic exchange of plastic biliary stents. During endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, patient was found to have hemobilia and developed uncontrollable bleeding after a common bile duct (CBD) sweep managed by insertion of a stent-graft across major papilla into presumed CBD. The bl...

Arterial thrombosis in the context of HCV-associated vascular disease can be prevented by protein C.
Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major problem worldwide. HCV is not limited to liver disease but is frequently complicated by immune-mediated extrahepatic manifestations such as glomerulonephritis or vasculitis. A fatal complication of HCV-associated vascular disease is thrombosis. Polyriboinosinic:polyribocytidylic acid (poly (I:C)), a synthetic analog of viral RNA, induces a Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3)-dependent arteriolar thrombosis without significant thrombus formation in venules in vivo. These procoagulant effects are caused by increased endothelial synthesis of tissue factor and PAI-1 withou...

Association of conjunctival and corneal calcification with vascular calcification among hepatitis-C-seropositive hemodialysis patients.
Abstract Disorders associated with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been reported including cardiovascular, metabolic, and central nervous system diseases. Since chronic HCV infections may be curable, their identification as causal contributors to cardiovascular risk could offer new perspectives in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between HCV and aortic arch calcification (AAC) and corneal and conjunctival calcification (CCC) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients; further, we assessed the correlation of CCC with vascular calcification. A total o...

Clinical impact of intrapulmonary vascular dilatation in liver transplant candidates.
CONCLUSIONS: Autoimmune hepatitis and increased liver disease severity are associated with the presence of IPVD, which is characterized by higher PaO2. Future studies to better characterize IPVD pathogenesis and the relationship of IPVD to HPS are warranted. PMID: 28987478 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
