Vincenzo Mazzaferro,Enrico Regalia,Roberto Doci,Salvatore Andreola,A. Pulvirenti,Federico Bozzetti,F. Montalto,Mario Ammatuna,Alberto Morabito,Leandro Gennari +9 more
TL;DR: Liver transplantation is an effective treatment for small, unresectable hepatocellular carcinomas in patients with cirrhosis and after four years, the actuarial survival rate was 75 percent and the rate of recurrence-free survival was 83 percent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gianluca Perseghin,Enrico Regalia,Alberto Battezzati,Sandro Vergani,A. Pulvirenti,Ileana Terruzzi,D. Baratti,Federico Bozzetti,Vincenzo Mazzaferro,Livio Luzi +9 more
TL;DR: Liver transplant subjects have normal postabsorptive glucose metabolism, and glucose and insulin challenge elicit normal response at both hepatic and peripheral sites, and defective counterregulation during hypoglycemia may reflect an alteration of the liver-CNS-islet circuit which is due to denervation of the transplanted graft.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vincenzo Mazzaferro,Enrico Regalia,A. Pulvirenti,Alessandro Tagger,Salvatore Andreola,M. Pasquali,D. Baratti,Fabrizio Romano,U. Palazzo,Massimo Zuin,Ferruccio Bonino,Maria Lisa Ribero,Leandro Gennari +12 more
TL;DR: A therapeutic attempt to prevent recurrent HCV infection was undertaken in a group of HCV-RNA positive transplant recipients, using a combination of interferon and ribavirin early after OLT, the first of its kind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resection versus transplantation for liver metastases from neuroendocrine tumors.
Jorgelina Coppa,A. Pulvirenti,M. Schiavo,R. Romito,Paola Collini,M. Di Bartolomeo,Alessandra Fabbri,Enrico Regalia,Vincenzo Mazzaferro +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe their experience with 29 patients affected by liver metastases from neuroendocrine tumors who were treated with either hepatic resections or liver transplantation, and propose pre-transplantation selection criteria currently applied in their centre are also proposed.
