About the Collection

BMC Gastroenterology is calling for submissions to our new Collection on Vascular disorders of the liver.

While considered less common than other liver complications, hepatic vascular disorders pose significant health challenges. Comprising a variety of conditions like hepatic artery thrombosis and portal vein thrombosis, they can lead to complications ranging from liver congestion to potential failure. This Collection aims to collate original research articles that relate to recent developments in the field of hepatic vascular disorders, from state-of-the-art diagnostic methodologies to innovative therapeutic interventions.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

•    Hepatic artery thrombosis
•    Portal vein thrombosis
•    Budd-Chiari syndrome
•    Hepatic hemangioma
•    Hepatic arteriovenous malformation (AVM)
•    Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)/ hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD)
•    Peliosis hepatis
