“…Studies using portal vein ligation in rats demonstrated a long-term effect of portal flow deprivation on mRNA expression of proliferative and angiogenic factors in the liver, indicating a potential association with liver carcinogenesis 13,14 . Another study showed an association of PVT with the development of liver lesions, including benign liver tumors, such as focal nodular hyperplasia and hepatocellular adenoma, and malignant liver tumors, such as HCC and hepatoblastoma 15,17 .…”
