Background & Aims Despite improvements in medical and surgical techniques, post-
hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) remains the leading cause of postoperative death. High …

Background Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a leading cause of postoperative
mortality after liver surgery. Due to its significant impact, it is imperative to understand the …

The function of the liver depends critically on its blood supply. Numerous in silico models
have been developed to study various aspects of the hepatic circulation, including not only …

Blood pulsatility, aneurysms, stenoses and general low shear stress hemodynamics
enhance non-Newtonian blood effects which generate local changes in the space-time …

The liver plays a key role in the metabolic homeostasis of the whole organism. To carry out
its functions, it is endowed with a peculiar circulatory system, made of three main dendritic …

The paper is devoted to the comparison of one-dimensional models, used for the simulation
of blood flow in elastic vessels. The inviscid, Newtonian, and non-Newtonian models of …

Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is a widely employed surrogate of portal pressure
gradient (PPG) in the diagnosis of portal hypertension (PHT). However, little is known about …

Partial liver removal is an important therapy option for liver cancer. In most patients within a
few weeks, the liver is able to fully regenerate. In some patients, however, regeneration fails …

Measurement of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is currently widely adopted to
provide an estimate of portal pressure gradient (PPG) in the diagnosis and treatment of …

The liver function may be degraded after partial liver ablation surgery. Adverse liver
hemodynamics have been shown to be associated to liver failure. The link between these …
