Description

This session encompasses basic, translational, and clinical studies in vascular liver disease and portal hypertension. Ranging from congestive hepatopathy and cirrhosis in fontan-associated liver disease to intrahepatic moecular pathways of fibrosis in chronic liver disease. Key areas also include examination of porto-sinusoidal vascular liver disease and TIPS for acute and chronic portal vein thrombosis. 

Objectives

  • 1. Describe molecular mechanisms of fibrosis in vascular and chronic liver disease.
  • 2. Discuss mechanisms of hepatopathy in fontana-associated liver disease as well as clinical implications after cardiac surgery.
  • 3. Evaluate the interactions of vascular liver disorders and portal hypertension, including the role of TIPS.
