Hepatopulmonary syndrome increases the postoperative mortality rate following liver transplantation: a prospective study in 90 patients.
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a frequent pulmonary complication of patients with end-stage liver diseases. HPS is diagnosed by hypoxemia and pulmonary vascular dilatation and is an independent risk factor of mortality. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the only factor that modifies the natural course of HPS. Once patients with HPS have been transplanted, their long-term survival rat...
متن کاملCT Scan Does Not Differentiate Patients with Hepatopulmonary Syndrome from Other Patients with Liver Disease
BACKGROUND Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is defined by liver dysfunction, intrapulmonary vascular dilatations, and impaired oxygenation. The gold standard for detection of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations in HPS is contrast echocardiography. However, two small studies have suggested that patients with HPS have larger segmental pulmonary arterial diameters than both normal subjects and normo...

Frequency of Hepatopulmonary Syndrome (HPS) Among Patients With Liver Cirrhosis: A Letter to Editor.
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a complication of liver disease. It is most frequently related to portal hypertension (with or without cirrhosis), although chronic liver disease of almost any etiology could be related to HPS (1, 2). Moreover, some acute liver diseases are related to HPS, such as ischemic hepatitis (3). HPS can be diagnosed when the following disorders have been approved (1, 4...

Background: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is an epileptic encephalopathy, characterized by drug-resistant multiple seizure types. The aim of this study was to determine if the adjunctive use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with LGS and drug-resistant epilepsy is efficacious in decreasing their seizure frequency and also to investigate its safety and tolerability. Method...
