Heparin reversal with protamine sulfate after Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP): is less more? Cancer Imaging 2023; 23:68. [PMID: 37452405 PMCID: PMC10349410 DOI: 10.1186/s40644-023-00590-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) is a palliative intraarterial therapy for unresectable hepatic malignancies. During PHP, high-dose melphalan is infused via the hepatic artery to saturate tumor in the liver with the chemotherapeutic substance. The venous hepatic blood is filtered by an extracorporeal melphalan specific filtration system. Blood clotting in the extracorporeal filter system is prevented by administering unfractionated heparin (UFH) in high doses, which might be reversed with protamine sulfate after the procedure. Aim of this retrospective two-center-study was to analyze the potential effect of UFH reversal with protamine sulfate on complication rates following PHP. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients receiving PHP treatment between 10/2014 and 04/2021 were classified according to their intraprocedural coagulation management: 92 patients/192 PHP received full UFH reversal with protamine (groupPROTAMINE); 13 patients/21 PHP in groupREDUCED_PROTAMINE received a reduced amount of protamine, and 28 patients/43 PHP did not receive UFH reversal with protamine (groupNO_PROTAMINE). Periinterventional clinical reports, findings and laboratory values were retrospectively evaluated. Complications and adverse events were classified according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAEv5.0). RESULTS Thromboembolic events were recorded after 10 PHP procedures (5%) in groupPROTAMINE, six of which (3%) were major events (CTCAE grade 3-5). No (0%) thromboembolic events were recorded in groupREDUCED_PROTAMINE and groupNO_PROTAMINE. Hemorrhagic events were registered after 24 PHP (13%) in groupPROTAMINE, two of which (1%) were major (CTCAE grade 3-4). In groupREDUCED_PROTAMINE, only minor bleeding events were recorded, and one major hemorrhagic event was documented in groupNO_PROTAMINE (2%). There was a significant difference between the percentage of post-interventional thrombopenia in groupPROTAMINE (39%) and groupREDUCED_PROTAMINE (14%) versus groupNO_PROTAMINE (23%) (p=.00024). In groupPROTAMINE one patient suffered from a severe anaphylactic shock after the administration of protamine. CONCLUSION Our retrospective study implies that there might be a link between the practice of protamine sulfate administration to reverse the full hemodilutive effect of UFH after PHP and the post-interventional risk of thromboembolic events as well as clinically significant thrombopenia. Our data suggest that the standard use of protamine sulfate after PHP in low-risk patients without clinical signs of active bleeding should be critically re-evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous hepatic perfusion (CS-PHP) is a treatment option for primary and secondary liver neoplasms and subject of intensive research. This present article provides an overview of CS-PHP regarding patient safety, feasibility and effectiveness based on recent studies. METHOD We performed a PubMed search including the search terms chemosaturation, hepatic chemosaturation, percutaneous perfusion and melphalan. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION CS-PHP is a promising procedure for the treatment of uveal melanoma and cholangiocellular carcinoma. There are insufficient data regarding the effectiveness of CS-PHP with respect to other tumor entities. Since CS-PHP can be accompanied by multiple transient side effects and complications, close interdisciplinary cooperation is necessary. KEY POINTS · Chemosaturation of the liver is a safe procedure.. · CS-PHP is a potent therapy for hepatic metastatic ocular melanoma and cholangiocellular carcinoma.. · The procedure requires close interdisciplinary coordination.. · CS-PHP is a repeatable and thus long-term therapeutic option for some patients..

Abstract
Background Hepatic chemosaturation is a technique in which a high dose of the chemotherapeutic agent melphalan is administered directly into the liver while limiting systemic side effects. We reviewed our institutional experience regarding patient’s X-ray exposure caused by the procedure. Methods Fifty-five procedures, performed between 2016 and 2020 in 18 patients by three interventional radiologists (radiologist), were analyzed regarding the patient’s exposure to radiation. Dose-area-product (DAP) and fluoroscopy time (FT) were correlated with the experience of the radiologist and whether the preprocedural evaluation (CS-EVA) and the procedure were performed by the same radiologist. Additionally, the impact of previous liver surgery on DAP/FT was analyzed. Results Experienced radiologist require less DAP/FT (50 ± 18 Gy*cm2/13.2 ± 3.84 min vs. 69 ± 20 Gy*cm2/15.77 ± 7.82 min; p < 0.001). Chemosaturations performed by the same radiologist who performed CS-EVA required less DAP/FT (41 ± 12 Gy*cm2/11.46 ± 4.41 min vs. 62 ± 11 Gy*cm2/15.55 ± 7.91 min; p < 0.001). Chemosaturations in patients with prior liver surgery with involvement of the inferior cava vein required significantly higher DAP/FT (153 ± 27 Gy*cm2/25.43 ± 4.57 min vs. 56 ± 25 Gy*cm2/14.44 ± 7.55 min; p < 0.001). Conclusion There is a significant learning curve regarding the procedure of hepatic chemosaturation. Due to dose reduction the evaluation and chemosaturation therapy should be performed by the same radiologist. Procedures in patients with previous liver surgery require higher DAP/FT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endovascular revascularization has become the first-line treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). The qualitative visual analysis of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is dependent on observer experience and prone to interpretation errors. We evaluate the feasibility of 2D-Perfusion Angiography (2D-PA) for objective, quantitative treatment response assessment in CMI. METHODS 49 revascularizations in 39 patients with imaging based evidence of mesenteric vascular occlusive disease and clinical signs of CMI were included in this retrospective study. To assess perfusion changes by 2D-PA, DSA-series were post-processed using a dedicated, commercially available software. Regions of interest (ROI) were placed in the pre- and post-stenotic artery segment. In aorto-ostial disease, the inflow ROI was positioned at the mesenteric artery orifice. The ratios outflow to inflow ROI for peak density (PD), time to peak and area-under-the-curve (AUC) were computed and compared pre- and post-interventionally. We graded motion artifacts by means of a four-point scale. Feasibility of 2D-PA and changes of flow parameters were evaluated. RESULTS Motion artifacts due to a mobile vessel location beneath the diaphragm or within the mesenteric root, branch vessel superimposition and inadequate contrast enhancement at the inflow ROI during manually conducted DSA-series via selective catheters owing to steep vessel angulation, necessitated exclusion of 26 measurements from quantitative flow evaluation. The feasibility rate was 47%. In 23 technically feasible assessments, PDoutflow/PDinflow increased by 65% (p < 0.001) and AUCoutflow/AUCinflow increased by 85% (p < 0.001). The time to peak density values in the outflow ROI accelerated only minimally without reaching statistical significance. Age, BMI, target vessel (celiac trunk, SMA or IMA), stenosis location (ostial or truncal), calcification severity, plaque composition or the presence of a complex stenosis did not reach statistical significance in their distribution among the feasible and non-feasible group (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared to other vascular territories and indications, the feasibility of 2D-PA in mesenteric revascularization for CMI was limited. Unfavorable anatomic conditions contributed to a high rate of inconclusive 2D-PA results.

Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP) with Melphalan in Liver-Dominant Metastatic Uveal Melanoma: The German Experience. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 14:cancers14010118. [PMID: 35008282 PMCID: PMC8749811 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14010118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) delivers high-dose melphalan to the liver while minimizing systemic toxicity via filtration of the venous hepatic blood. This two-center study aimed to examine the safety, response to therapy, and survival of patients with hepatic-dominant metastatic uveal melanoma (UM) treated with PHP. A total of 66 patients with liver-dominant metastasized uveal melanoma, treated with 145 PHP between April 2014 and May 2020, were retrospectively analyzed with regard to adverse events (AEs; CTCAE v5.0), response (overall response rate (ORR)), and disease control rate (DCR) according to RECIST1.1, as well as progression-free and overall survival (PFS and OS). With an ORR of 59% and a DCR of 93.4%, the response was encouraging. After initial PHP, median hepatic PFS was 12.4 (confidence interval (CI) 4–18.4) months and median OS was 18.4 (CI 7–24.6) months. Hematologic toxicity was the most frequent AE (grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia after 24.8% of the procedures); less frequent was grade 3 or 4 hepatic toxicity (increased aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) after 7.6% and 6.9% of the interventions, respectively). Cardiovascular events included four cases of ischemic stroke (2.8%) and one patient with central pulmonary embolism (0.7%). In conclusion, PHP is a safe and effective salvage treatment for liver-dominant metastatic uveal melanoma. Serious AEs—though rare—demand careful patient selection.

Abstract
Patients with unresectable hepatic metastases, from uveal or ocular melanoma, are challenging to treat with an overall poor prognosis. Although over the past decade significant advances in systemic therapies have been made, metastatic disease to the liver, especially from uveal melanoma, continues to be a poor prognosis. Percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) is a safe, viable treatment option for these patients. PHP utilizes high dose chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver while minimizing systemic exposure and can be repeated up to 6 times. Isolation of the hepatic vasculature with a double-balloon catheter allows for high concentration cytotoxic therapy to be administered with minimal systemic adverse effects. A detailed description of the multidisciplinary treatment protocol used at an institution with over 12 years of experience is discussed and recommendations are given. A dedicated team of a surgical or medical oncology, interventional radiology, anesthesiology and a perfusionist allows PHP to be repeatedly performed as a safe treatment strategy for unresectable hepatic metastases.

Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2020; 44:635-641. [PMID: 33330951 PMCID: PMC7987613 DOI: 10.1007/s00270-020-02722-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or critical limb ischemia (CLI) require revascularization. Traditionally, endovascular therapy (EVT) is performed with iodinated contrast agent (ICM), which can provoke potential deterioration in renal function. CO2 is a safe negative contrast agent to guide vascular procedures, but interpretation of CO2 angiography is challenging. Changes in blood flow following iodine-aided EVT are assessable with 2D-perfusion angiography (2D-PA). The aim of this study was to evaluate 2D-PA as a tool to monitor blood flow changes during CO2-aided EVT. MATERIAL AND METHODS 2D-PA was performed before and after ten EVTs (nine stents; one endoprosthesis; 10/2012-02/2020) in nine patients (six men; 65 ± 10y) with Fontaine stage IIb (n = 8) and IV (n = 1). A reference ROI (ROIINFLOW) was placed in the artery before the targeted obstruction and a target ROI (ROIOUTFLOW) distally. Corresponding ROIs were used pre- and post-EVT. Time to peak (TTP), peak density (PD) and area under the curve (AUC) were computed. The reference/target ROI ratios (TTPOUTFLOW/TTPINFLOW; PDOUTFLOW/PDINFLOW; AUCOUTFLOW/AUCINFLOW) were calculated. RESULTS 2D-PA was technically feasible in all cases. A significant increase of 82% in PDOUTFLOW/PDINFLOW (0.44 ± 0.4 to 0.8 ± 0.63; p = 0.002) and of 132% in AUCOUTFLOW/AUCINFLOW (0.34 ± 0.22 to 0.79 ± 0.59; p = 0.002) was seen. A trend for a decrease in TTPOUTFLOW/TTPINFLOW was observed (- 24%; 5.57 ± 3.66 s-4.25 ± 1.64 s; p = 0.6). CONCLUSION The presented 2D-PA technique facilitates the assessment of arterial flow in CO2-aided EVTs and has the potential to simplify the assessment of immediate treatment response.

Abstract
To evaluate feasibility, frequency and severity of peri-procedural complications and post-procedural adverse events (AEs) in patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma or liver metastasis of uveal melanoma and prior hemihepatectomy undergoing chemosaturation percutaneous hepatic perfusion (CS-PHP) and to analyze therapy response and overall survival compared to a matched group without prior surgery. CS-PHP performed between 10/2014 and 02/2018 were retrospectively assessed. To determine peri-procedural safety and post-procedural adverse events, hospital records and hematological, hepatic and biliary function were categorized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 (1–5; mild-death). Significance was tested using Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann–Whitney U test. Kaplan–Meier estimation and log-rank test assessed survival. Overall 21 CS-PHP in seven patients (4/7 males; 52 ± 10 years) with hemihepatectomy (grouphemihep) and 22 CS-PHP in seven patients (3/7 males; 63 ± 12 years) without prior surgery (groupnoresection) were included. No complications occurred during the CS-PHP procedures. Transient changes (CTCAE grade 1–2) of liver enzymes and blood cells followed all procedures. In comparison, grouphemihep presented slightly more AEs grade 3–4 (e.g. thrombocytopenia in 57% (12/21) vs. 41% (9/22; p = 0.37)) 5–7 days after CS-PHP. These AEs were self-limiting or responsive to treatment (insignificant difference of pre-interventional to 21–45 days post-interventional values (p > 0.05)). One patient in grouphemihep with high tumor burden died eight days following CS-PHP. No deaths occurred in groupnoresection. In comparison, overall survival after first diagnosis was insignificantly shorter in groupnoresection (44.7(32–56.1) months) than in grouphemihep (48.3(34.6–72.8) months; p = 0.48). The severity of adverse events following CS-PHP in patients after hemihepatectomy was comparable to a matched group without prior liver surgery. Thus, the performance of CS-PHP is not substantially compromised by a prior hemihepatectomy.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of 2D-perfusion angiography (2D-PA) for the analysis of intra-procedural treatment response after intra-arterial prostaglandin E1 therapy in patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI). Methods Overall, 20 procedures in 18 NOMI patients were included in this retrospective case–control study. To evaluate intra-procedural splanchnic circulation changes, post-processing of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) series was performed. Regions of interest (ROIs) were placed in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA; reference), the portal vein (PV; ROIPV), as well as the aorta next to the origin of the SMA (ROIAorta). Peak density (PD), time to peak (TTP), and area under the curve (AUC) were assessed, and parametric ratios ‘target ROIPD, TTP, AUC/reference ROI’ were computed and compared within treatment and control group. Additionally, a NOMI score was assessed pre- and post-treatment compared to 2D-PA. Results Vasodilator therapy leads to a significant decrease of the 2D-PA-derived values PDAorta (p = 0.04) and AUCAorta (p = 0.03). These findings correlated with changes of the simplified NOMI score, both for overall (4 to 1, p < 0.0001) and for each category. Prostaglandin application caused a significant increase of the AUCPV (p = 0.04) and TTPPV was accelerated without reaching statistical significance (p = 0.13). When compared to a control group, all 2D-PA values in the NOMI group (pre- and post-intervention) differed significantly (p < 0.05) with longer TTPAorta/PV and lower AUCAorta/PV and PD Aorta/PV. Conclusion 2D-PA offers an objective approach to analyze immediate flow and perfusion changes following vasodilatory therapies of NOMI patients and may be a valuable tool for assessing treatment response.
