Article Abstract

Background: Liver dysfunction is a known risk factor in the cardiovascular field. It specifically increases perioperative risk in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery. Since percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the much less invasive procedure for the treatment of coronary artery disease, we aimed to assess the relationship of liver dysfunction with outcomes in patients undergoing PCI.

Methods: Three libraries were searched (MEDLINE, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library). We performed a meta-analysis of all studies in patients who underwent PCI that provided information on the presence or absence of liver dysfunction. Primary outcome was short-term mortality. Secondary outcomes were major adverse cardio- and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), bleeding and acute kidney injury. Random-effects model was applied.

Results: Five studies were selected and the data from 10,710,317 patients were included in the final analysis. In comparison with the absence of liver dysfunction, patients with liver dysfunction were associated with higher short-term mortality (OR 2.97, 95%CI 1.23-7.18, p = 0.02), higher MACCE (OR 1.42, 95%CI 1.08-1.87, p = 0.01), and higher bleeding (OR 2.23, 95%CI 1.65-3.00, p < 0.01). There was no significant difference regarding acute kidney injury (OR 1.20, 95%CI 0.50-2.87, p = 0.69).

Conclusions: The analysis suggests that liver dysfunction in patients undergoing PCI is independently associated with higher risk of short-term mortality and increased occurrence of MACCE and bleeding. However, there appears to be no association to acute kidney injury.

Bevacizumab for refractory gastrointestinal angiodysplasia: a case report and literature review.

Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol

August 2025

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep, Alkmaar.

Currently, symptomatic gastrointestinal (GI) angiodysplasia is treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) via endoscopic procedures, supplemented with octreotide or thalidomide treatment. However, suboptimal response and side effects are often seen. Bevacizumab, an angiogenesis inhibitor, may provide an alternative systemic therapy for patients with refractory GI angiodysplasia.

College of Medical Informatics, Chongqing Medical University, 1 Yixueyuan Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, 400016, China, 86 13500303273.

Background: Cirrhosis is a leading cause of noncancer deaths in gastrointestinal diseases, resulting in high hospitalization and readmission rates. Early identification of high-risk patients is vital for proactive interventions and improving health care outcomes. However, the quality and integrity of real-world electronic health records (EHRs) limit their utility in developing risk assessment tools.

Objective: To verify the effect of physical exercise on the quality of life of patients with liver cirrhosis (LC).

Methods: the sample included controlled and randomized experimental studies of individuals with LC, at any stage of the disease, over 18 years of age, of both sexes, who performed any type of physical exercise compared to any other intervention or no intervention, with quality of life as the outcome assessed by the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ). The search for articles was conducted in 11 databases.
