Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition: A targetable mechanism that contributes to portal vein thrombosis in cirrhosis Open
Background and Aims: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a frequent complication of cirrhosis, yet its pathophysiology remains elusive. Unlike thrombosis in other vascular beds, anticoagulation often fails to completely recanalize PVT, highlig…

Porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder in chronic HBV: A significant coexistence not to be overlooked Open
The new diagnostic criteria for porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) allow for coexistence with other liver diseases. The results of the present study highlight, for the first time, a non-negligible prevalence of chronic hepatitis B i…

Liver Transplantation for Porto-sinusoidal Vascular Liver Disorder: Long-term Outcome Open
Background. Porto-sinusoidal vascular liver disorder (PSVD) is a rare disease that occasionally requires liver transplantation (LT), despite usually presenting preserved liver function. There remains a paucity of data pertaining to LT in P…

The Pathophysiology of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Cirrhosis: Getting Deeper into Virchow’s Triad Open
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a common complication among patients with cirrhosis. However, its pathophysiology is not well established and there are currently very few predictive factors, none of which are actually useful, from a clinic…

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on vascular liver diseases Open
Vascular liver diseases (VLD) are represented mainly by portosinusoidal vascular disease (PSVD), non-cirrhotic splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) and Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS). It is unknown whether patients with VLD constitute a high-risk …

Monitoring of miR-181a-5p and miR-155-5p Plasmatic Expression as Prognostic Biomarkers for Acute and Subclinical Rejection in de novo Adult Liver Transplant Recipients Open
Background and Aims: News strategies for the accurate assessment of the state of immunosuppression (IS) in liver transplant recipients are needed to prevent rejection and minimize drug-related side effects. miRNAs can potentially be used a…
