TL;DR: Colonic lesions were significantly more frequent in the cirrhotic patients than in the control group; however, such lesions did not seem specific to the disease and were not statistically correlated with the degree of esophageal varices by Child's grading, the etiology of cirrhosis, or the bleeding risk from the lower gastrointestinal tract.

TL;DR: Selective TACE may produce significant, but transitory increases in ALT values, with no major impact on liver function and Child-Pugh score, but can remain stable in the long-term, with optimal medium term survival.

TL;DR: A relapse was observed in most cases within 3 years, and in all recruited patients within a space of ten years, as patients with distal colitis showed a lesser tendency to relapse.

TL;DR: Whenever the intended exploration of the entire colon with CC failed, the endotics robotic endoscopy represented a useful tool as it helped examine the entire Colon in almost all cases.
