    Abstract Purpose of review: Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) is becoming a more commonly used procedure to manage various complications of liver disease. It is important to understand the technique of the procedure, the indications for its use, and also potential associated complications.
    Recent findings: BRTO is superior to endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for bleeding gastric varices associated with a portosystemic shunt and should be considered a first line therapy in these patients. In addition, it has been shown to be useful in controlling ectopic variceal bleeding, improving portosystemic encephalopathy, and also in modulating blood flow in the post liver transplant setting. Modified versions of BRTO, plug assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration and coil assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration, have been developed to reduce procedure time and improve complication rates.
    Summary: As the use of BRTO expands in clinical practice it will be important for gastroenterologists and hepatologists to better understand the procedure. There are still many research questions left to answer regarding the use of BRTO in specific situations and for specific patient populations.

    Abstract Acute variceal bleeding is a serious complication of portal hypertension. This most often manifests as bleeding from esophageal varices. Although less likely to occur, bleeding from gastric varices is usually more severe. The best endoscopic management for acute esophageal variceal bleeding is band ligation and this often proves to be definitive therapy for these patients. For gastric variceal bleeding, the best endoscopic therapy is endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection but this can be cumbersome to perform and is not a readily available resource at most centers in the United States.

    Abstract With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the Healthcare Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) was implemented, leading to significant reductions in readmissions for congestive heart failure, pneumonia, and myocardial infarction. Patients with cirrhosis have a complex and difficult to manage underlying disease process and are often left out of large policy decisions such as the HRRP although they represent a population at high risk for readmission and other negative outcomes. In this editorial, hospital readmissions in patients with cirrhosis are discussed in the context of the HRRP and evolving models of care.

    Series title Hepatology
    Abstract Gastric and Ectopic varices are a rare complication of portal hypertension and represent a complex, heterogeneous system of vascular shunts. Bleeding from these shunts can be severe and life-threatening, with poorly standardized treatment algorithms to follow in their management. When bleeding occurs, it is important to follow standard diagnostic procedures for portal hypertensive bleeding and always obtain imaging of the underlying vascular anatomy to help guide therapy. Potential treatment methods will depend on these imaging findings as well as the location of the varix within the gastrointestinal tract. While gastric varices have more data to support specific treatment options, duodenal and rectal varices have only case reports and case series to guide their care. In addition, stomal varices are a very rare complication of portal hypertension and have limited data to support any one treatment modality. Gastric and ectopic varices are best approached in a multidisciplinary fashion after discussion with hepatologists and interventional radiologists to overcome the uncertainty in choosing a definitive therapy.

    Abstract Objective: Morning total cortisol (TC) levels have been shown to predict adrenal dysfunction (AD) in the general population, but their utility in cirrhosis is unknown.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed including all noncritically ill patients at our institution between 2011 and 2022 admitted with acute decompensated cirrhosis who underwent standard-dose adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation testing. Adrenal dysfunction was defined as an increase in TC (delta TC) level <9 µg/dl 60 minutes after ACTH dosing. Spearman correlation was utilized to assess the relationship between binding globulins and cortisol levels. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine if basal TC level or common clinical parameters were predictive of AD.
    Results: One hundred and nineteen patients were included, with a median model for end-stage liver disease score of 18. Albumin levels did not correlate with basal TC levels (ρ = 0.127; P = 0.169); basal TC did not correlate with delta TC (ρ = 0.050; P = 0.591). The degree of hypoalbuminemia did not alter these relationships. On multivariate regression, only albumin level [odds ratio (OR) = 0.418; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.196-0.890; P = 0.024] and MELD score (OR, 1.094; 95% CI, 1.019-1.174; P = 0.014) were predictive of AD. Basal TC levels were not predictive of AD (OR = 0.991; 95% CI, 0.903-1.088; P = 0.855) or delta TC (β = 0.000; 95% CI -0.147 to 0.147; P = 0.999).
    Conclusion: Baseline TC levels do not predict ACTH stimulation testing response in patients with acute decompensated cirrhosis. Clinicians should avoid utilizing an isolated morning cortisol result as a screening method for AD in this population.
