Avoiding liver injury with papaverine and ascorbic acid due to infrarenal cross-clamping: an experimental study

Abstract Objective: Ischemia-reperfusion injury after acute ischemia treatment is a serious condition with high mortality and morbidity. Ischemia-reperfusion injury may result in organ failure particularly in kidney, lung, liver, and heart. In our study, we investigated the effects of papaverine and vit...

Predicting the presence of an accessory hepatic vein using abdominal computed tomography

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
The incidence of detection of accessory hepatic vein (AHV) using MRI or CT has been reported. However, previous studies had a small sample size or only reported on the incidence of hepatic vein variants. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous report evaluating the factors predictive of ...

Hígado: siete segmentos hepáticos

Int. j. morphol; 34 (4), 2016
Estudiamos la estructura intrahepática en 200 hígados (A05.8.01.001)* humanos: Las ramas portales, arteriales y biliares formaron siete pedículos segmentarios antes de penetrar en su parénquima correspondiente. Los cuatro primeros pertenecen, generalmente, al lóbulo izquierdo (A05.8.01.027) y los se...

Ischemic postconditioning assessment in the liver of rats undergoing mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion

Abstract Introduction: Ischemic postconditioning is a method that shows evidence of efficacy in minimizing reperfusion injury; however, its effectiveness in preventing injuries in distant organs is still unknown, especially in those who have undergone mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion. Objective: To ...

Cardiopulmonary bypass ischemic hepatitis reported in five patients

Abstract Objective: In cardiac surgery, the lung, renal and neurological events are the most frequent complications. Less common, acute liver failure is a serious complication that adds high morbidity, mortality, and costs. Therefore, this communication aimed to retrospectively evaluate five patients wh...

Post-reperfusion liver biopsy and its value in predicting mortality and graft dysfunction after liver transplantation

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 29 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Background: The outcome of the patients after liver transplant is complex and to characterize the risk for complications is not always easy. In this context, the hepatic post-reperfusion biopsy is capable of portraying alterations of prognostic importance. Aim: To compare the results of liver...

Vasculatura portal intrahepática: descripción anatómica, radiológica y ecográfica

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
El presente trabajo describe la arborización del sistema venoso portal intrahepático desde los enfoques anatómico, radiológico y ecográfico. Se realizaron 5 preparados anatómicos mediante inyección de resinas plásticas y posterior corrosión. Por radiología se contrastó el árbol portal en una ...
