    How safe is pregnancy after liver transplantation? A large case series study at tertiary referral center in Turkey
    (2020) Gulumser, Cagri; Kinap, Mahir; Yanik, Filiz Bilgin; Uysal, Nihal Sahin; Moray, Gokhan; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 0000-0003-2498-7287; 0000-0001-5385-5502; 0000-0002-4066-9038; 30227751; AAJ-8097-2021; AAE-1041-2021; AAA-9475-2020; C-6543-2018
    Objective: To investigate pregnancy outcomes and to define preventative measures against to risk factors and complications in pregnancy after liver transplantation. Secondary aim is to report postpartum allograft functions in these patients. Method: This is a case series study. All pregnant women with liver transplantations performed in our hospital were enrolled. Patients' hospital medical records, electronic records Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) records were used to collect data. Obstetric characteristics and antenatal complications, risk factors, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, all aspects of liver transplant variables and allograft functions after pregnancy were studied. Results: A total of 11 patients were included in the study. All of them were singleton. Mean maternal age was 29.3 +/- 3.9 years. And mean gestational week of delivery was 37.2 +/- 2.2. 78% of the women were delivered at term (>37 weeks) only two babies were preterm and discharged from NICU without any complications. Birth weight (gr median +/- SD) was 2575 +/- 345. Five (45%) patients were nulliparous, majority of the cases (8/11, 72%) were conceived of pregnant with natural way. Live birth rate was 81% (9/11). Only one patient for each has suffered from fetal growth restriction, maternal anemia, maternal hyperthyroidism, and ulcerative colitis. Vaginal bleeding was seen in five women during the pregnancy. There was no maternal death, stillbirth or neonatal death. The mode of delivery for all live birth pregnancies was C-section. And none of them was emergency C-section. No complication of allograft function was seen after pregnancy. Conclusion: Pregnancy in women with liver transplantation is not associated with poor pregnancy outcomes and complications for both the mother and the neonates when these patients followed up at tertiary referral center with multidisciplinary approaches.

    Prenatal diagnosis of abnormality of the umbilical portal DV complex: difficulty in universal classification due to various alternative routes in hepatic circulation for placental drainag
    (2020) Demirci, Oya; Akay, Hatice Ozturkmen; 0000-0002-0854-0904; 33138669; AAD-8547-2021
    Objective To review our experience with fetal abnormality of the umbilical-portal-DV complex and to discuss the new classification system for umbilical portal systemic venous shunts (UPSVS) according to our cases. Methods This study was a retrospective analysis of fetuses with a prenatal diagnosis of abnormality of the umbilical-portal-DV complex. The integrity of the fetal umbilical-portal ductus venosus complex and the hepatic venous system were evaluated using two-dimensional color Doppler sonography. The origin of the shunt, the location of the drainage, and the presence or absence of intrahepatic portal venous system and DV were noted. Results 35 cases of abnormality of the umbilical-portal-DV complex were identified. Agenesis of ductus venous was detected in 33 of them. Based on the abnormality of the umbilical-portal-DV complex, we divided the cases into five groups. Group 1, ductus venosus agenesis with normal hepatic venous anatomy (n = 11); Group 2 downward displacement of the umbilical-portal-DV complex (n = 13); Group 3, umbilical-systemic shunt (n = 5); Group 4, intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (n = 4), Group 5, hepatic arteriovenous malformation (n = 2). Three different intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and one different downward displacement of the umbilical-portal-DV complex cases were detected. Conclusions Disruption of the normal anatomy of the umbilical-portal-DV complex causes various alternative pathway of the placental drainage. This illustrates highlights the challenge of creating a universal classification.
