Integrated Perspectives on Vascular Liver Disorders

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

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