Introduction: Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, or hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), is a rare autosomal dominant genetic vascular disease characterized by arteriovenous malformations, vascular wall fragility, dilatation, and rupture of the vessels with hepatic symptoms. As HHT with hepatic symptoms is recognized as the primary etiology for liver transplantation, liver transplantation with liver grafts from donors affected by HHT is extremely rare. Herein, we report a successful liver transplantation in a patient with biliary atresia who received a whole-liver graft from a young brain-dead donor with HHT.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficiency and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with lenvatinib and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and lung metastasis.
Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, treatment-naive patients with advanced (BCLC stage C) HCC and lung metastases who received lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor - with or without HAIC - between January 2019 and January 2024 were reviewed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance baseline characteristics between the two groups.

Background: Difficult biliary cannulation is a key challenge in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and a major risk factor for post-ERCP pancreatitis. When the pancreatic duct is unintentionally accessed, double guidewire (DGW) is the primary rescue strategy, while transpancreatic sphincterotomy (TPS) is an alternative. Previous evidence suggests that TPS may achieve higher cannulation success and lower PEP rates compared to DGW, though direct comparative data remain limited.

Introduction: Liver transplantation for polycystic liver disease (PLD) poses significant intraoperative risks due to the presence of a massively enlarged liver. We report a rare case of intraoperative pneumothorax and pneumatocele formation during total hepatectomy, which was successfully managed with a non-operative approach.
Case Presentation: A female patient in her 40s with a history of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease presented with progressive liver cyst enlargement (Gigot type III, Qian classification Grade 4), which led to decreased activities of daily living and intracystic hemorrhage.
Patent ductus venosus is a congenital portosystemic shunt that may cause progressive portal hypertension, hepatic encephalopathy, and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver. Embolization of the Arantius' duct is the first choice of treatment in infants and children. However, it carries the risk of coil migration into the systemic circulation in adult patients with larger Arantius ducts.
