Hepatic Venous Outflow

Budd-Chiari syndrome is an uncommon disease caused by an obstruction to hepatic venous outflow either at the level of the hepatic veins or in the hepatic part of the inferior vena cava. Clinically, it presents with ascites, abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, edema, and occasionally jaundice. The syndrome was first recognised by Lamboran1 in 1842 and later described by Budd2 in 1846 and Chiari3 in 1899. The syndrome is caused by obstruction to the hepatic veins. In the Fig 1. Photograph showing massive ascites and dilated superficial abdominal veins. majority of cases, the obstruction is ascribed to obliterative thrombophlebitis of unknown cause.4

In Pregnancy

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common presentation on the acute medical take. In our previous article in Vol 6 issue 1 we discussed the diagnostic approach to this condition. This article concentrates on the treatment of PE, including guidance for treatment of PE in pregnancy and cancer. This article also discusses the role of alternative anticoagulants, thrombolysis, surgery and inferior vena caval filters.

Abstract Background: During total aortic arch replacement surgery (TARS) for patients with acute type A aortic dissection, organs in the lower body such as the viscera and spinal cord are at risk of ischemia even when antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) is performed. Combining ACP with retrograde inferior vena caval perfusion (RIVP) during TARS may improve outcomes by providing the lower body with oxygenated blood. Methods: This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled trial of 500 patients scheduled for TARS. Patients were randomly allocated to a moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest (MHCA) group, who received selective ACP with moderate hypothermia during TARS; or to an RIVP group, who received the combination of RIVP and selective ACP under moderate hypothermia during TARS. The primary outcome was a composite of early mortality and major complications, including paraplegia, postoperative renal failure, severe liver dysfunction, postoperative prolonged intubation (>48 h), and gastrointestinal complications. Discussion: This study aims to assess whether RIVP combined with selective ACP leads to superior outcomes than selective ACP alone for patients undergoing TARS under moderate hypothermia. This study seeks to provide high-quality evidence for RIVP to be used in patients with acute type A aortic dissection undergoing TARS.
