Rare Liver Diseases : expert centers

The FILFOIE Network groups together expertise related to all of the rare liver diseases in adults and children. Nationwide it unites 3 health networks of expertise centers :

Each of these networks is coordinated by a Reference Centre (CRMR) that have been accredited by the French Ministry of Health.

Biliary Atresia and Genetic Cholestasis (AVB-CG)


The Reference Center Biliary Atresia and Genetic Cholestasis (CRAVB-CG) is the coordination center for the Biliary Atresia and Genetic Cholestasis (AVB-CG) network. II is located within the Department of Paediatric Hepatology and Liver Transplantation of Bicêtre Hospital, which is part of the Public Assistance Hospitals of Paris (AP-HP).

The CRAVB-CG coordinates a national network of rare paediatric liver diseases care and surveillance. The network spreads throughout France and includes 2 Constitutive Reference Centres (CRMR), with complementary expertise on paediatric liver diseases, and 5 Competence Centres (CCMR), providing local patient care and follow-up.

The CRAVB-CG is organized around a multidisciplinary and highly specialized medical team with proven expertise in paediatric liver diseases, paediatric hepatology and liver transplantation, specific medical treatments and innovative therapies, together with related departments specialized in pediatric surgery, pediatric diagnostic and interventional radiology, digestive endoscopy, ERCP, pediatric intensive care and anesthesiology, anatomopathology, biochemistry, toxicology, virology and molecular biology. Department research activities cover mechanisms and treatment of paediatric liver diseases, bile secretion and cholestasis, genetic liver diseases, liver transplantation and innovative therapies.

Vascular Liver Diseases (MVF)


The Reference Center for Vascular Liver Diseases (CRMVF) is the coordination center for the Vascular Liver Diseases (MVF) network. It is located within the Hepatology Department at the Beaujon Hospital, which is part of the Public Assistance Hospitals of Paris (AP-HP).

The CRMVF coordinates a national network for vascular liver diseases including 32 Competence Centers and 1 Constitutive Reference Centre, accredited by the French Ministry of Health in 2005. .

The CRMVF, a patient-centered care network, aims at offering the best possible care for patients with vascular liver disease. The multidisciplinary team includes experts in vascular liver diseases: hepatology and liver transplantation, diagnostic and interventional radiology, endoscopy, hematology, biochemistry, intensive care-anesthesiology, liver and gastrointestinal surgery.

The goal is to offer expert care locally as much as possible. Only when necessary, (e.g. for technical procedures that cannot be performed otherwise), the patient is seen at CRMVF in Beaujon. This paradigm fosters the development of improved local management mostly through training and collaboration.

CRMVF’s two additional goals are first, to share best practices, nationally and internationally, in the patient care, and second, to foster and expand clinical and translational research.

Vascular liver diseases (VLD)
– Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS)
– Non-cirrhotic acute and chronic portal vein thrombosis (PVT),
– Portal cavernoma or chronic non cirrhotic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction,
– Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (ehpvo) in cirrhosis
– Veno occlusive disease (VOD),
– Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)
– Idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH),
– Porto sinusoidal vascular disease,
– Drug induced liver injury and vascular liver disease,
– Ischemic cholangiopathy,
– Congenital portosystemic shunts,
– Pregnancy and vascular liver diseases,
– Fontan related liver disease

Risk Factors for Vascular Liver Diseases
– Management and treatments for VLD:
– Percutaneous liver biopsy
– Transjugular liver biopsy
– Hepatic hemodynamic studies
– Direct transhepatic venography,
– Retrograde transjugular or transfemoral venography
– Anticoagulation therapy in patients at risk for gastrointestinal bleeding related to portal hypertension
– Percutaneous angioplasty and stenting
– Liver transplantation
