EASL CPGs on Vascular Liver Diseases: What’s New?
This episode addresses key challenges in vascular complications of liver disease, including the management of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with and without cirrhosis. Experts will explore controversies surrounding long-term anticoagulation therapy and discuss insights from the CIRROXABAN paper. Additionally, the episode will shed light on the management of splanchnic artery aneurysms, offering valuable guidance for clinical practice.

KICK-OFF MEETING LIVER TRACK
Liver Track ?
The objective of LIVER-TRACK is to address two unmet medical needs in patients with cirrhosis:
1) the estimation of the risk of decompensation of cirrhosis, and 2) the estimation of the risk of liver cancer development.
By bringing together the highly innovative measurements of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs), an untapped source of biomarkers in liver diseases, with state-of-the-art existing biomarkers including FibroTest, cancer proteins and SNPs, LIVER-TRACK will create a Test for Decompensation and a Test for Liver Cancer.
These tests will be turnkey solutions to predict the evolution of patients with cirrhosis in routine clinical practice.

DECISION Project: Advancing Treatment Strategies for Decompensated Cirrhosis
The objective of the DECISION project is to enhance the understanding of the pathophysiology of decompensation of #cirrhosis leading to acute-on-chronic liver failure (#ACLF) or death. This consortium will take advantage of already existing large and clinically well-characterized cohorts to ultimately develop prognostic and response tests and combinatorial therapies tailored to the needs of individual patients to decrease the risk of short-term death.

DECISION 5th GA Meeting - Padova, Italy
Members of the DECISION Consortium met in Padova, Italy, to discuss recent research results in preparation of several manuscripts shedding some new light on the pathophysiology of acute decompensation of cirrhosis and development of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) – a syndrome associated with high short-term mortality. After three years of intensive work, the upcoming COMBAT trial will use newly identified biomarkers to predict disease progression and test safety and effectiveness of a combinatorial drug therapy.
