| 1 | Predictors of mortality after transjugular portosystemic shunt显示文摘AIM:To investigate if echocardiographic and hemodynamic determinations obtained at the time of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)can provide prognostic information that will enhance risk stratification of patients.METHODS:We reviewed medical records of 467 patients who underwent TIPS between July 2003 and December 2011 at our institution.We recorded information regarding patient demographics,underlying liver disease,indication for TIPS,baseline laboratory values,hemodynamic determinations at the time of TIPS,and echocardiographic measurements both before and after TIPS.We recorded patient comorbidities that may affect hemodynamic and echocardiographic determinations.We also calculated Model for Endstage Liver Disease(MELD)score and Child Turcotte Pugh(CTP)class.The following pre-and post-TIPS echocardiographic determinations were recorded:Left ventricular ejection fraction,right ventricular(RV)systolic pressure,subjective RV dilation,and subjective RV function.We recorded the following hemodynamic measurements:Right atrial(RA)pressure before and after TIPS,inferior vena cava pressure before and after TIPS,free hepatic vein pressure,portal vein pressure before and after TIPS,and hepatic venous pressure gradient(HVPG).RESULTS:We reviewed 418 patients with portal hypertension undergoing TIPS.RA pressure increased by a mean ± SD of 4.8 ± 3.9 mmH g(P < 0.001),HVPG decreased by 6.8 ± 3.5 mmH g(P < 0.001).In multivariate linear regression analysis,a higher MELD score,lower platelet count,splenectomy and a higher portal vein pressure were independent predictors of higher RA pressure(R = 0.55).Three variables predicted 3-mo mortality after TIPS in a multivariate analysis:Age,MELD score,and CTP grade C.Change in the RA pressure after TIPS predicted long-term mortality(per 1 mm Hg change,HR = 1.03,95%CI:1.01-1.06,P < 0.012).CONCLUSION:RA pressure increased immediately after TIPS particularly in patients with worse liver function,portal hypertension,emergent TIPS placement and history of splenectomy.The increase in RA pressure after TIPS was associated with increased mortality.Age,splenectomy,MELD score and CTP grade were independent predictors of long-term mortality after TIPS. | Mona Ascha Sami Abuqayyas Ibrahim Hanouneh Laith Alkukhun Mark Sands Raed A Dweik Adriano R Tonelli | 2016 | World Journal of Hepatology2016,8,11: | 13 |
| 2 | Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for severe jaundice in patients with acute Budd-Chiari syndrome显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the feasibility of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)for severe jaundice secondary to acute Budd-Chiari syndrome(BCS).METHODS:From February 2009 to March 2013,37patients with severe jaundice secondary to acute BCS were treated.Sixteen patients without hepatic venule,hepatic veins(HV)obstruction underwent percutaneous angioplasty of the inferior vena cava(IVC)and/or HVs.Twenty-one patients with HV occlusion underwent TIPS.Serum bilirubin,liver function,demographic data and operative data of the two groups of patients were analyzed.RESULTS:Twenty-one patients underwent TIPS and the technical success rate was 100%,with no technical complications.Sixteen patients underwent recanalization of the IVC and/or HVs and the technical success rate was 100%.The mean procedure time for TIPS was 84.0±12.11 min and angioplasty was44.11±5.12 min(P<0.01).The mean portosystemic pressure in the TIPS group decreased significantly from 40.50±4.32 to 16.05±3.50 mm Hg(P<0.01).The mean portosystemic pressure gradient decreased significantly from 33.60±2.62 to 7.30±2.21 mm Hg(P<0.01).At 8 wk after the procedures,in the TIPS group,total bilirubin(TBIL)decreased significantly from 266.24±122.03 before surgery to 40.11±3.52μmol/L(P<0.01)and direct bilirubin(DBIL)decreased significantly from 194.22±69.82μmol/L to 29.82±3.10μmol/L(P<0.01).In the angioplasty group,bilirubin returned to the normal range,with TBIL decreased significantly from 258.22±72.71μmol/L to 13.33±3.54μmol/L(P<0.01)and DBIL from175.08±39.27 to 4.03±1.74μmol/L(P<0.01).Liver function improved faster than TBIL.After 2 wk,in the TIPS group,alanine aminotransferase(ALT)decreased significantly from 50.33±40.61 U/L to 28.67±7.02U/L(P<0.01)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)from 49.46±34.33 U/L to 26.89±8.68 U/L(P<0.01).In the angioplasty group,ALT decreased significantly from 51.56±27.90 to 14.22±2.59μmol/L(P<0.01)and AST from 60.66±39.89μmol/L to 8.18±1.89μmol/L(P<0.01).After mean follow-up of 12.6 mo,there was no recurrence of jaundice in either group.CONCLUSION:Severe jaundice is not a contraindication for TIPS in patients with acute BCS and TIPS is appropriate for severe jaundice due to BCS. | Fu-Liang He Lei Wang Hong-Wei Zhao Zhen-Hua Fan Meng-Fei Zhao Shan Dai Zhen-Dong Yue Fu-Quan Liu | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,8: | 8 |
| 3 | Budd-Chiari syndrome:A single-center experience显示文摘AIM:To investigate challenges,risk factors,prognostic indicators,and treatment outcomes associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome(BCS)at a tertiary care center.METHODS:A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the University of Pennsylvania in patients with a diagnosis of BCS or hepatic vein thrombosis.All patients receiving care at the University of Pennsylvania,and who had at least 2 clinical encounters in the University of Pennsylvania Health system from January1,2008 to September 10,2013 were eligible for study inclusion.Data were extracted from the electronic medical record of each patient,and recorded in a secure Research Electronic Data Capture database.Logistic regression analyses were applied to identify predictors of outcome of liver transplant(LT)or death.RESULTS:Between January 1,2008 and September10,2013,forty-seven patients were identified.Median age was 42.4 years.Thirty-one(66.0%)were women.A majority were Caucasian(68.1%).At diagnosis,43(91.5%)patients had ascites,27(57.4%)patients had a hematologic disorder associated with a hypercoagulable state and 26(55.3%)had cirrhosis.Forty(85.1%)patients were on anticoagulation(AC),30(63.8%)of whom were maintained on warfarin.Two patients(4.3%)underwent thrombolytic therapy.A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)was placed in21(44.7%)patients,19(90.5%)of whom were also on AC.Twenty-one(44.7%)received AC alone.Over a median of 974 d,8(17.0%)patients received LT,and10(21.3%)died.The median time from listing to death was 26 mo[interquartile range(IQR)=16,65)].TIPS with AC was utilized more frequently in younger patients(P=0.02).Age,cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease(CKD)were significant predictors of LT or death.CONCLUSION:AC alone was employed as frequently as TIPS with AC,though the latter was used more frequently in younger patients with polycythemia vera.There were no significant differences in treatment outcome regardless of the therapeutic intervention employed.Significant predictors of poor prognosis included age,cirrhosis and CKD. | Tanya M Pavri Alan Herbst Rajender Reddy Kimberly A Forde | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,43: | 2 |
