Liver Transplantation for Extra-Hepatic Manifestation of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare genetic disorder distinguished by multiple arteriovenous malformations that can affect the liver and lungs, and additionally cause high-output heart failure. Effective medical treatment for HHT-related heart failure is limited. While most types of heart failure are contraindications in liver transplants, HHT-related high-output heart failure is an indication for a liver transplant. However, this is rarely performed as it poses a higher-than-average intraoperative risk. We present a case of a 57-year-old female patient with HHT and high-output heart failure from HHT who underwent a successful orthotopic liver transplant to significantly improve her heart function. Incidentally, the patient had a concomitant diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) from her explanted liver. We review the literature on liver transplants related to HHT and perioperative risks associated with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension that may be associated with both HHT and PBC.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
