Vascular Liver Disease: Mechanisms and Management covers all of the disease entities that stem
from abnormalities that affect the hepatic vasculature. This multi-authored text includes the
mechanisms and management of intrahepatic vascular disease including the most common cause of
vascular disease of the liver cirrhosis. Other less common diseases of the liver vasculature
are also covered such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (previously known as veno-occlusive
disease) portal vein thrombosis the Budd-Chiari syndrome and congenital vascular
malformations. These entities although rare are a challenge to physicians and physician
scientists. Although many textbooks have been written on the consequences of cirrhosis on the
liver vasculature this is the only volume that focuses on the liver vasculature as a separate
entity providing an innovative approach to liver disease management. Vascular Liver Disease:
Mechanisms and Management will be of great value to clinical investigators and basic scientists
interested in the liver circulation as well as clinical gastroenterologists and hepatologists
hepatobiliary surgeons and transplant surgeons and to interventional radiologists with a
particular interest in the liver.
