Abstract
Variceal bleeding is a consequence of severe portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis. Although the rate of bleeding has decreased over time, variceal bleeding in the presence of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) carries a high risk of treatment failure and short-term mortality. Treatment and/or removal of precipitating events (mainly bacterial infection and alcoholic hepatitis) and decrease of portal pressure may improve outcome of patients with acute decompensation or ACLF. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPSs), especially in the preemptive situation, have been found to efficiently control bleeding, prevent rebleeding, and reduce short-term mortality. Therefore, TIPS placement should be considered as an option in the management of ACLF patients with variceal bleeding.

Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2023; 46:658-663. [PMID: 36826490 PMCID: PMC10156797 DOI: 10.1007/s00270-023-03383-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate and compare the physical properties of the new generation Gore VIATORR-Controlled Expansion Endoprosthesis (VCX) to those of the predecessor VIATORR stent in an in vitro experimental setup. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 12 stents (8 VCX; 4 VIATORR; GORE, USA) were examined. Radial resistive force (RRF) and chronic outward force (COF) were assessed using a radial force testing machine (RX-650, Machine Solutions Inc., USA). To assess the radial forces of the VCX above 8 mm, balloon expansion was performed between cycles. RESULTS All VCX stents show an abrupt decrease in COF at an external diameter of 8.3 mm; RRF decreases likewise at an external diameter of 8.5 mm. The predecessor VIATORR stent without the "controlled expansion" feature shows linear radial force reduction until full expansion at a diameter of 10 mm. The physical properties of the VCX can be altered by balloon modulation. Point of COF (RRF) reduction shifts to 8.5 mm (8.6 mm), 8.6 mm (8.8 mm) and 9.3 mm (9.6 mm) following modulation with a 8 mm, 9 mm and 10 mm balloon. CONCLUSIONS The VCX shows an abrupt and disproportionate decrease in COF and RRF at an external diameter of 8.3 mm, thus passive expansion to its nominal diameter of 10 mm is not to be expected. By means of balloon dilatation the physical properties of the stent can be altered, enabling customized TIPS creation. The previous VIATORR stent shows continuous COF and RRF until total expansion.
