Portal Venous Pressure Variation during Hepatectomy: A Prospective Study
Carrapita, Jorge Gomes; Rocha, Clara; Donato, Henrique; Costa, Alexandre; Abrantes, Ana Margarida; Santos, Jorge Nunes; Botelho, Maria FilomenaIntroduction: Excessive portal venous pressure in the liver remnant is an independent factor in the occurrence of posthepatectomy liver failure and small-for-size syndrome. The baseline portal pressure prior to hepatectomy was not considered previously. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of portal pressure change during hepatectomy on the patient outcome. Material and Methods: Prospective observation...

Impact of splenic artery ligation after major hepatectomy on liver function, re...
Carrapita, Jorge; Abrantes, Ana Margarida; Campelos, Sofia; Gonçalves, Ana Cristina; Cardoso, Dulce; Ribeiro, Ana Bela Sarmento; Rocha, ClaraIt was reported that prevention of acute portal overpressure in small-for-size livers by inflow modulation results in a better postoperative outcome. The aim is to investigate the impact of portal blood flow reduction by splenic artery ligation after major hepatectomy in a murine model. Forty-eight rats were subjected to an 85% hepatectomy or 85% hepatectomy and splenic artery ligation. Both groups were evaluat...
