Dig Dis Sci 2024; 69:1025-1034. [PMID: 38341393 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-023-08256-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) liver failure (PTLF) is a serious complication of TIPS procedure with poor patient prognosis. This study tried to investigate the incidence of PTLF following elective TIPS procedure and evaluated possible predictive factors for the same. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent elective TIPS placement between 2012 and 2022 and was conducted to determine development of PTLF (≥ 3-fold bilirubin and/or ≥ 2-fold INR elevation from the baseline) within 30 days following TIPS procedure. Medical record review was done and factors predicting development of PTLF and the 90-day transplant-free survival was determined. RESULTS Thirty of 352 (8.5%) patients developed PTLF within 30 days of TIPS (mean age 54.2 ± 9.8 years, 83% male). The etiology of cirrhosis was related to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in 50%, alcohol in 33.3%, and hepatitis B/C virus infection in 16.7% of the patients. The mean Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score was 9.5 ± 1.2 and mean model for end stage liver disease (MELD) score was 14.6 ± 4.5 at the time of admission in patients who developed PTLF. The indication for TIPS was recurrent variceal bleed in 50% (15 of 30) and refractory ascites in 46.7% (14 of 30) patients with PTLF. Multivariate analysis identified prior HE (OR 6.1; CI 2.57-14.5, p < 0.0001) and higher baseline CTP score (OR 1.47; CI 1.07-2.04; p = 0.018) as predictors of PTLF. PTLF was associated with significantly lower 90-day transplant-free survival, as compared to patients without PTLF (40% versus 96%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Almost 10% of patients with cirrhosis develop post-TIPS liver failure and is associated with significant early mortality and morbidity. Higher baseline CTP score and prior HE were identified as predictors for PTLF.

[PMID: 37109397 PMCID: PMC10146175 DOI: 10.3390/life13040868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPSS) is an interventional radiology procedure whose aim is to create artificial communication between the portal and the hepatic blood flow in order to reduce the pressure gradient in portal hypertension. The indications to perform a TIPSS procedure can be framed in an elective or emergency setting: refractory ascites to diuretic therapy and secondary prophylaxis of variceal hemorrhage are the most frequent reasons for executing a TIPSS in an election context, while acute uncontrolled variceal bleeding is the principal indication that a TIPSS needs to be performed in an emergency setting. In recent years, the role of the TIPSS has been redefined for several conditions, such as ectopic varices, portal vein thrombosis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, hepatic veno-occlusive disease, and many others. This review aims to perform a deep analysis of when and why a TIPSS procedure should be carried out in an emergency, pointing out the related most common technical difficulties and complications.

Emergent Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt as a First-Line Therapy in Patients with Cirrhosis with Acute Gastroesophageal Variceal Hemorrhage. J Vasc Interv Radiol 2023; 34:344-350. [PMID: 36414117 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2022.11.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the safety and effectiveness of emergent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) as first-line therapy in patients with advanced cirrhosis with acute variceal hemorrhage. MATERIALS AND METHODS From July 2016 to June 2019, 76 patients with advanced cirrhosis and acute variceal hemorrhage were included in this retrospective study. All patients underwent emergent TIPS as first-line therapy within 24 hours. Gastroesophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis were diagnosed with contrast-enhanced computed tomography because emergent endoscopy has not been routinely performed in this center. The primary outcomes were the control rate of bleeding and the rate of rebleeding. Secondary outcomes were the technical success rate of procedure, transplantation-free survival, the mean hospitalization time, the time of stay in the intensive care unit, and adverse events. RESULTS All patients underwent TIPS creation successfully and were transferred to general wards. The median follow-up time was 21.7 months (interquartile range, 12.6-28.1 months). The control rate of bleeding (≤5 days) was 100%. The rates of early (>5 days to 6 weeks) and late (>6 weeks to 2 years) rebleeding were 6.6% and 1.3%, respectively. The 6-week, 1-year, and 2-year transplantation-free survival rates were 94.7%, 93.4%, and 84.6%, respectively. The incidences of acute liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, and shunt dysfunction were 5.3%, 25%, and 5.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Emergent TIPS as a first-line therapy in patients with advanced cirrhosis with acute variceal hemorrhage is safe and effective. This study provides an alternative approach for medical centers without emergent endoscopy facility to manage the condition.

Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) predicts liver failure after transjugular intrahepatic portal shunt: a retrospective cohort study. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2022; 10:1122. [PMID: 36388791 PMCID: PMC9652563 DOI: 10.21037/atm-22-4737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 08/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophagogastric variceal bleeding is a serious complication of decompensated cirrhosis. Transjugular intrahepatic portal shunt (TIPS) is a salvage treatment with clear hemostatic results. However, various complications may occur after TIPS, including postoperative liver failure, and the prognosis is very poor once occurs. Liver failure is a common symptom of severe liver disease with a high mortality rate. This study investigated the incidence of liver failure after TIPS treatment for varicose bleeding. METHODS We analyzed the data of patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2013 and December 2018 with portal hypertension with an episode of acute gastroesophageal variceal bleeding. A total of 121 patients were referred to the regional liver unit for TIPS. Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and clinical data were collected. Patients with incomplete data were excluded, and 93 patients were ultimately enrolled in the study. Primary outcomes were morbidity and hospital mortality within 4 weeks of surgery. The data were retrospectively and consecutively collected and evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses to identify risk factors of liver failure. RESULTS The patients included 58 males (62.37%) and 35 females (37.63%), and the mean age was 58.43±11.85 years. The main cause was hepatitis B virus (HBV), which was found in 50.54% of patient. The overall surgical success rate was 83.87% (78/93). Of 15 treatment-failure patients, 9 (9.68%) died in hospital. Four patients died of liver failure, accounting for 44.44% of postoperative all-cause deaths. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that only hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) was an independent risk factor for post-TIPS morbidity [relative risk (RR) 1.156; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.041 to 1.283; P=0.006]. In addition, HVPG was an independent risk factor for hospital mortality within 4 weeks (RR 1.133; 95% CI: 1.021 to 0.539; P=0.016). CONCLUSIONS Post-TIPS liver failure is a serious complication in patients with cirrhosis. Pre-TIPS HVPG level may be used as a predictor of potential short-term postoperative adverse events.

Abstract
Portal hypertension is a complication of chronic liver disease. Various radiological interventions are being done to aid in the diagnosis of portal hypertension; further, an interventional radiologist can offer various treatments for the complications of portal hypertension. Diagnosis of portal hypertension in its early stage may require hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement. Measurement of gradient also guides in diagnosing the type of portal hypertension, measuring response to treatment and prognostication. This article attempts to provide evidence-based guidelines on the management of portal hypertension and treatment of its complications.

Abstract
Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a diverse disease with regard to the site of obstruction, the predisposing thrombophilic disorders and clinical presentation across the Asia-Pacific region. The hepatic vein ostial stenosis and short segment thrombosis are common in some parts of Asia-Pacific region, while membranous obstruction of the vena cava is common in some and complete thrombosis of hepatic veins in others. Prevalence of myeloproliferative neoplasms and other thrombophilic disorders in BCS varies from region to region and with different sites of obstruction. This heterogeneity also raises several issues and dilemmas in evaluation and approach to management of a patient with BCS. The opportunity to recanalize hepatic vein in patients with hepatic vein ostial stenosis or inferior vena cava stenting or pasty among those membranous obstruction of the vena cava is a unique opportunity in the Asia-Pacific region to restore hepatic outflow closely mimicking physiology. In order to address these issues arising out of the diversity as well as the unique features in the region, the Asia Pacific Association for Study of Liver has formulated these guidelines for clinicians.

Abstract
More than five decades after it was originally conceptualized as rescue therapy for patients with intractable variceal bleeding, the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure continues to remain a focus of intense clinical and biomedical research. By the impressive reduction in portal pressure achieved by this intervention, coupled with its minimally invasive nature, TIPS has gained increasing acceptance in the treatment of complications of portal hypertension. The early years of TIPS were plagued by poor long-term patency of the stents and increased incidence of hepatic encephalopathy. Moreover, the diversion of portal flow after placement of TIPS often resulted in derangement of hepatic functions, which was occasionally severe. While the incidence of shunt dysfunction has markedly reduced with the advent of covered stents, hepatic encephalopathy and instances of early liver failure continue to remain a significant issue after TIPS. It has emerged over the years that careful selection of patients and diligent post-procedural care is of paramount importance to optimize the outcome after TIPS. The past twenty years have seen multiple studies redefining the role of TIPS in the management of variceal bleeding and refractory ascites while exploring its application in other complications of cirrhosis like hepatic hydrothorax, portal hypertensive gastropathy, ectopic varices, hepatorenal and hepatopulmonary syndromes, non-tumoral portal vein thrombosis and chylous ascites. It has also been utilized to good effect before extrahepatic abdominal surgery to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality. The current article aims to review the updated literature on the status of TIPS in the management of patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Here in we report a case of acute liver failure with hepatic infarction after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). An upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage patient with a medical history of alcoholic cirrhosis underwent a TIPS procedure. One day after TIPS, his alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels increased to 1214 U/L and 1511 U/L, respectively. Two days after TIPS, they peaked at alanine aminotransferase 8389 U/L and aspartate aminotransferase >7500 U/L, respectively. An emergent stent occlusion was performed on the second day. Portography showed that there were no portal vein branches or parenchymal stains on the edge of the right liver lobe. A CT scan demonstrated diffuse hepatic parenchyma, homogeneous hypodense lesion, and bilateral pleural effusion. The patient died of liver failure and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome 6 hours after the stent occlusion.
