  • Hyperplastic gastric polyps (HPPs) are the most common type of gastric polyps. They are assumed to be caused by chronic inflammation and regenerative proliferation, although this has not been clearly investigated yet. Many studies suggested the development of fundic gland polyps and carcinoid during long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, but the relationship between PPIs and HPPs is still unclear. We encountered a patient who showed aggravation of HPPs after long-term use of PPIs. A 58-year-old male patient with liver cirrhosis visited our hospital because of hematemesis. We started PPI medication after confirming esophageal variceal bleeding and duodenal ulcer with blood clot in its base via emergency endoscopy. He took PPIs for three years because of an intractable duodenal ulcer. There was a marked increase in the size of the pre-existing polyps and in the development of new polyps. We presumed that the PPIs caused the aggravation of the HPPs, so we stopped their administration. After five months, the HPPs shrank and the polyps were partially degraded. More prospective studies are needed to investigate the relationship between HPPs and PPIs.

  • Background/Aims: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is an early manifestation of cardiac dysfunction in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). However, the effect of LVDD on survival has not been clarified, especially in decompensated LC. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 70 patients with decompensated LC, including ascites or variceal bleeding, at Daejeon St. Mary's Hospital from April 2013 to April 2015. The cardiac function of these patients was evaluated using 2D echocardiography with tissue Doppler imaging. The diagnosis of LVDD was based on the American Society of Echocardiography guidelines. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Results: Forty-four patients (62.9%) had LVDD. During follow-up (22.3 months), 18 patients died (16 with LVDD and 2 without LVDD). The survival rate was significantly lower in patients with LVDD than in those without LVDD (31.1 months vs. 42.6 months, P=0.01). In a multivariate analysis, the Child-Pugh score and LVDD were independent predictors of survival. Moreover, patients with a ratio of early filling velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/e') ${\geq}10$ (LVDD grade 2) had lower survival than patients with E/e' ratio < 10. Conclusions: The presence of LVDD is associated with poor survival in patients with decompensated LC. Therefore, it may be important to monitor and closely follow LVDD patients.

  • Hepatic arterioportal fistulae are abnormal communications between the hepatic artery and portal vein. They are reported to be congenital or acquired secondary to trauma, iatrogenic procedures, hepatic cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, but less likely to occur spontaneously. Extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) can lead to pre-hepatic portal hypertension. A spontaneous superimposed hepatic arterioportal fistula can lead to pre-sinusoidal portal hypertension, further exacerbating its physiology. This report describes a young woman with long-standing EHPVO presenting with repeated upper gastrointestinal variceal bleeding and symptomatic hypersplenism. Computed tomography scan demonstrated a cavernous transformation of the portal vein and a macroscopic hepatic arterioportal fistula between the left hepatic artery and portal vein collateral in the central liver. The hepatic arterioportal fistula was associated with a flow-related left hepatic artery aneurysm and a portal venous collateral aneurysm proximal and distal to the fistula, respectively. Endovascular coiling was performed for the hepatic arterioportal fistula, followed by proximal splenorenal shunt procedure. This case illustrates an uncommon association of a spontaneous hepatic arterioportal fistula with EHPVO and the utility of a combined endovascular and surgical approach for managing multifactorial non-cirrhotic portal hypertension in such patients.

  • Backgrounds/Aims: Extra hepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) is the most common cause of portal hypertension in Indian children. While endoscopy is the primary modality of management, a subset of patients require surgery. This study aims to report the short- and long-term outcomes of EHPVO patients managed surgically. Methods: All the patients with EHPVO who underwent surgery between August 2007 and December 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative complications were classified after Clavien-Dindo. Binary logistic regression in Wald methodology was used to determine the predictive factors responsible for unfavourable outcome. Results: Total of 202 patients with EHPVO were operated. Mean age of patients was 20.30 ± 9.96 years, and duration of illness, 90.05 ± 75.13 months. Most common indication for surgery was portal biliopathy (n = 59, 29.2%), followed by bleeding (n = 50, 24.8%). Total of 166 patients (82.2%) had shunt procedure. Splenectomy with esophagogastric devascularization was the second most common surgery (n = 20, 9.9%). Nine major postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo > 3) were observed in 8 patients (4.0%), including 1 (0.5%) operative death. After a median follow-up of 56 months (15-156 months), 166 patients (82.2%) had favourable outcome. In multivariate analysis, associated splenic artery aneurysm (p = 0.007), isolated gastric varices (p = 0.004), preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiography and stenting (p = 0.015), and shunt occlusion (p < 0.001) were independent predictors of unfavourable long-term outcome. Conclusions: Surgery in EHPVO is safe, affords excellent short- and long-term outcome in patients with symptomatic EHPVO, and may be considered for secondary prophylaxis.

  • 연구배경 : 간경화 환자에서 심질환 또는 폐질환이 동반되지 않으면서 심각한 저산소혈증이 발생할 수 있다는 사실은 이미 오래전부터 알려져 있는 사실이다. 그 원인으로서 폐혈관 장애를 초래하는 것이 주된 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있는데 그 중에서도 특히 폐혈관 확정에 의한 폐내단락이 가장 중요한 기전으로 제시되고 있다. 폐내단락은 전모세혈관 수준에서 폐내혈관확장이 발생하거나 직접적인 동정맥 교통에 의해서 발생하는데 간경화 환자에서 흔히 관찰되는 피부 소견인 거미상 혈관종과 관련성이 있다. 이러한 폐내 모세혈관의 확장으로 인해 중심 혈류 속도가 빨라지고 모세혈관 통과 속도가 증가하여 결국은 폐확산 장애가 초래되는데 이러한 효과는 심박출량이 증가하는 과운동성 순환을 나타내는 간경화의 혈류학적 특성과 상승작용을 유발하여 저산소혈증이 발생한다. 또한 앙아위에서 기립자세로 체위변화를 하면 폐기저부위에서 중력에 의한 혈류량이 증가하여 폐내단락 효과가 배가되어 저산소혈증이 더욱 악화되므로 기립성 탈산소증과 편평호흡이 발생할 수도 있다. 그러나 이러한 소견들은 주정성 간경화와 원발성 담즙성 간경화를 주로하는 구미에서의 결과이고, B형간염과 이로 인한 간경화 및 간암의 유병율과 사망률이 세계적으로 가장 높은 우리나라에서는 이에 대한 연구가 거의 없는 실정이다. 이에 저자들은 후괴사성 간경화가 대종을 이루는 국내 간경화 환자에서의 저산소혈증과 기립성 탈산소증의 빈도를 조사하고 그 기전으로서 폐내단락의 중요성을 확인하기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 간경화 환자 중에서 심폐질환의 증거가 없고 복수, 상부위장관 출혈, 간성 혼수등과 같은 심한 합병증의 현증이 없는 비교적 안정상태에 있는 48명을 대상으로 하여 앙아위와 기립시 동맥혈분석검사를 시행하여 저산소혈증과 기립성 탈산소증의 빈도를 조사하고, 그 결과에 따라 저산소혈증군과 정상산서혈증군으로 분류하여 각각 폐기능검사 및 폐내단락율을 측정하기 위한 Tc-99m-MAA 주사를 실시하였다. 폐내단락율 계산은 뇌와 좌우신장의 혈류량은 전신 혈류량의 32%인 점을 기준하여 뇌와 좌우신장에서 측정된 방사성 계수를 전신 방사성 계수로 환산하고 이 값을 좌우폐의 방사성 계수와 합산한 후 이에 대한 전신 방사성 계수의 비율을 계산함으로써 결정하였다. 결과 : 동맥혈산소분압 80 mmHg 미만의 저산소혈증은 9명에서 관찰되어 18.8%의 빈도를 보였고 10 mmHg 이상의 기립성 탈산소증은 8명에서 관찰되어 16.7%의 빈도를 보였으나 동맥혈산소분양 60 mmHg 미만의 심각한 저산소혈증은 관찰되지 않았다. 동맥혈 산소분압은 거미상 혈관종이 관찰되는 환자군에서 유의하게 낮았으며 혈청학적 표지자와 간경화의 심한 정도를 반영하는 간기능검사 수치와는 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 저산소혈증군과 정상산소혈증군으로 분류하여 시행한 폐기능검사 소견상 양군간에 유의한 차이는 없었으며 Tc-99m-MAA 전신주사를 이용한 폐내단락율은 저산소혈증군에서 $11.4{\pm}4.1%$로서 정상산소혈증군의 $4.1{\pm}2.0%$보다 유의하게(p<0.05) 높은 결과를 나타내었다. 결론 : 간경화 환자에서 저산소혈증은 적지 않은 빈도로 관찰되는 소견으로 그 기전으로는 폐내단락이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각되지만 후괴사성 간경화가 대종을 이루는 국내의 간경화 환자에서는 임상적으로 호흡곤란 및 청색증을 유발할 정도의 심각한 저산소혈증은 매우 드물다고 생각된다.
