| 1 | Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts and portal hypertension-related complications显示文摘Portal hypertension(PH)plays an important role in the natural history of cirrhosis,and is associated with several clinical consequences.The introduction of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts(TIPS)in the 1980s has been regarded as a major technical advance in the management of the PH-related complications.At present,polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stents are the preferred option over traditional bare metal stents.TIPS is currently indicated as a salvage therapy in patients with bleeding esophageal varices who fail standard treatment.Recently,applying TIPS early(within 72 h after admission)has been shown to be an effective and life-saving treatment in those with high-risk variceal bleeding.In addition,TIPS is recommended as the second-line treatment for secondary prophylaxis.For bleeding gastric varices,applying TIPS was able to achieve hemostasis in more than 90%of patients.More trials are needed to clarify the efficacy of TIPS compared with other treatment modalities,including cyanoacrylate injection and balloon retrograde transvenous obliteration of gastric varices.TIPS should also be considered in bleeding ectopic varices and refractory portal hypertensive gastropathy.In patients with refractory ascites,there is growing evidence that TIPS not only results in better control of ascites,but also improves long-term survivalin appropriately selected candidates.In addition,TIPS is a promising treatment for refractory hepatic hydrothorax.However,the role of TIPS in the treatment of hepatorenal and hepatopulmonary syndrome is not well defined.The advantage of TIPS is offset by a risk of developing hepatic encephalopathy,the most relevant postprocedural complication.Emerging data are addressing the determination the optimal time and patient selection for TIPS placement aiming at improving long-term treatment outcome.This review is aimed at summarizing the published data regarding the application of TIPS in the management of complications related to PH. | Sith Siramolpiwat | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，45： | 41 |
| 2 | TIPS improves liver transplantation-free survival in cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites:An updated meta-analysis显示文摘AIM:To compare the liver transplantation-free(LTF)survival rates between patients who underwent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts(TIPS)and those who underwent paracentesis by an updated meta-analysis that pools the effects of both number of deaths and time to death.METHODS:MEDLINE,EMBASE,and the Cochrane Library were searched from the inception to October2012.LTF survival,liver transplantation,liver diseaserelated death,non-liver disease-related death,recurrent ascites,hepatic encephalopathy(HE)and severe HE,and hepatorenal syndrome were assessed as outcomes.LTF survival was estimated using a HR with a95%CI.Other outcomes were estimated using OR with95%CIs.Sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the effects of potential outliers in the studies according to the risk of bias and the study characteristics.RESULTS:Six randomized controlled trials with 390patients were included.In comparison to paracentesis,TIPS significantly improved LTF survival(HR=0.61,95%CI:0.46-0.82,P<0.001).TIPS also significantly decreased liver disease-related death(OR=0.62,95%CI:0.39-0.98,P=0.04),recurrent ascites(OR=0.15,95%CI:0.09-0.24,P<0.001)and hepatorenal syndrome(OR=0.32,95%CI:0.12-0.86,P=0.02).However,TIPS increased the risk of HE(OR=2.95,95%CI:1.87-4.66,P=0.02)and severe HE(OR=2.18,95%CI:1.27-3.76,P=0.005).CONCLUSION:TIPS significantly improved the LTF survival of cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites and decreased the risk of recurrent ascites and hepatorenal syndrome with the cost of increased risk of HE compared with paracentesis.Further studies are warranted to validate the survival benefit of TIPS in clinical practice settings. | Ming Bai Xing-Shun Qi Zhi-Ping Yang Man Yang Dai-Ming Fan Guo-Hong Han | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，10： | 29 |
| 3 | Clinical effects and complications of TIPS for portal hypertension due to cirrhosis:A single center显示文摘AIM:To determine the clinical effects and complications of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)for portal hypertension due to cirrhosis.METHODS:Two hundred and eighty patients with portal hypertension due to cirrhosis who underwent TIPS were retrospectively evaluated.Portal trunk pressure was measured before and after surgery.The changes in hemodynamics and the condition of the stent were assessed by ultrasound and the esophageal and fundic veins observed endoscopically.RESULTS:The success rate of TIPS was 99.3%.The portal trunk pressure was 26.8±3.6 cmH2O after surgery and 46.5±3.4 cmH2O before surgery(P<0.01).The velocity of blood flow in the portal vein increased.The internal diameters of the portal and splenic veins were reduced.The short-term hemostasis rate was100%.Esophageal varices disappeared completely in68%of patients and were obviously reduced in 32%.Varices of the stomach fundus disappeared completely in 80%and were obviously reduced in 20%of patients.Ascites disappeared in 62%,were markedly reduced in 24%,but were still apparent in 14%of patients.The total effective rate of ascites reduction was 86%.Hydrothorax completely disappeared in 100%of patients.The incidence of post-operative stent stenosis was 24%at 12 mo and 34%at 24 mo.The incidence of post-operative hepatic encephalopathy was 12%at3 mo,17%at 6 mo and 19%at 12 mo.The incidence of post-operative recurrent hemorrhage was 9%at 12mo,19%at 24 mo and 35%at 36 mo.The cumulative survival rate was 86%at 12 mo,81%at 24 mo,75%at 36 mo,57%at 48 mo and 45%at 60 mo.CONCLUSION:TIPS can effectively lower portal hypertension due to cirrhosis.It is significantly effective for hemorrhage of the digestive tract due to rupture of esophageal and fundic veins and for ascites and hydrothorax caused by portal hypertension. | Jian-Ping Qin Ming-De Jiang Wen Tang Xiao-Ling Wu Xin Yao Wei-Zheng Zeng Hui Xu Qian-Wen He Ming Gu | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，44： | 25 |
| 4 | Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for the management of acute variceal hemorrhage显示文摘Acute variceal hemorrhage,a life-threatening condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach for effective therapy,is defined as visible bleeding from an esophageal or gastric varix at the time of endoscopy,the presence of large esophageal varices with recent stigmata of bleeding,or fresh blood visible in the stomach with no other source of bleeding identified.Transfusion of blood products,pharmacological treatments and early endoscopic therapy are often effective;however,if primary hemostasis cannot be obtained or if uncontrollable early rebleeding occurs,transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)is recommended as rescue treatment.The TIPS represents a major advance in the treatment of complications of portal hypertension.Acute variceal hemorrhage that is poorly controlled with endoscopic therapy is generally well controlled with TIPS,which has a 90%to 100%success rate.However,TIPS is associated with a mortality of 30%to 50%in such a setting.Emergency TIPS should be considered early in patients with refractory variceal bleeding once medical treatment and endoscopic sclerotherapy failure,before the clinical condition worsens.Furthermore,admission to specialized centers is mandatory in such a setting and regional protocols are essential to be organized effectively.This review article discusses initial management and then focuses on the specific role of TIPS as a primary therapy to control acute variceal hemorrhage,particularly as a rescue therapy following failure of endoscopic approaches. | Romaric Loffroy Louis Estivalet Violaine Cherblanc Sylvain Favelier Pierre Pottecher Samia Hamza Anne Minello Patrick Hillon Pierre Thouant Pierre-Henri Lefevre Denis Krausé Jean-Pierre Cercueil | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，37： | 25 |
| 5 | Shunting branch of portal vein and stent position predict survival after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effect of the shunting branch of the portal vein(PV)(left or right)and the initial stent position(optimal or suboptimal)of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS).METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed 307 consecu5tive cirrhotic patients who underwent TIPS placement for variceal bleeding from March 2001 to July 2010 at our center.The left PV was used in 221 patients and the right PV in the remaining 86 patients.And,224 and83 patients have optimal stent position and sub-optimal stent positions,respectively.The patients were followed until October 2011 or their death.Hepatic encephalopathy,shunt dysfunction,and survival were evaluated as outcomes.The difference between the groups was compared by Kaplan-Meier analysis.A Cox regression model was employed to evaluate the predictors.RESULTS:Among the patients who underwent TIPS to the left PV,the risk of hepatic encephalopathy(P=0.002)and mortality were lower(P<0.001)compared to those to the right PV.Patients who underwent TIPS with optimal initial stent position had a higher primary patency(P<0.001)and better survival(P=0.006)than those with suboptimal initial stent position.The shunting branch of the portal vein and the initial stent position were independent predictors of hepatic encephalopathy and shunt dysfunction after TIPS,respectively.And,both were independent predictors of survival.CONCLUSION:TIPS placed to the left portal vein with optimal stent position may reduce the risk of hepatic encephalopathy and improve the primary patency rates,thereby prolonging survival. | Ming Bai Chuang-Ye He Xing-Shun Qi Zhan-Xin Yin Jian-Hong Wang Wen-Gang Guo Jing Niu Jie-Lai Xia Zhuo-Li Zhang Andrew C Larson Kai-Chun Wu Dai-Ming Fan Guo-Hong Han | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，3： | 26 |
| 6 | Targeted puncture of left branch of intrahepatic portal vein in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt to reduce hepatic encephalopathy显示文摘BACKGROUND Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS) is currently used for the treatment of complications of portal hypertension. The incidence of hepatic encephalopathy(HE) remains a problem in TIPS placement. It has been reported that the right branch mainly receives superior mesenteric venous blood while the left branch mainly receives blood from the splenic vein. We hypothesized that targeted puncture of the left portal vein would divert the non-nutritive blood from the splenic vein into the TIPS shunt; therefore, targeted puncture of the left branch of the intrahepatic portal vein during TIPS may reduce the risk of HE.AIM To evaluate the influence of targeted puncture of left branch of portal vein in TIPS on HE.METHODS A retrospective analysis of 1244 patients with portal-hypertension-related complications of refractory ascites or variceal bleeding who underwent TIPS from January 2000 to January 2013 was performed. Patients were divided into group A(targeting left branch of portal vein, n = 937) and group B(targeting right branch of portal vein, n = 307). TIPS-related HE and clinical outcomes were analyzed.RESULTS The symptoms of ascites and variceal bleeding disappeared within a short time.By the endpoint of follow-up, recurrent bleeding and ascites did not differ significantly between groups A and B(P = 0.278, P = 0.561, respectively).Incidence of HE differed significantly between groups A and B at 1 mo(14.94% vs36.80%, χ~2 = 4.839, P = 0.028), 3 mo(12.48% vs 34.20%, χ~2 = 5.054, P = 0.025), 6 mo(10.03% vs 32.24%, χ~2 = 6.560, P = 0.010), 9 mo(9.17% vs 31.27%, χ~2 = 5.357, P =0.021), and 12 mo(8.21% vs 28.01, χ~2 = 3.848, P = 0.051). There were no significant differences between groups A and B at 3 years(6.61% vs 7.16%, χ~2 = 1.204, P =0.272) and 5 years(5.01% vs 6.18%, χ~2 = 0.072, P = 0.562). The total survival rate did not differ between groups A and B(χ~2 = 0.226, P = 0.634, log-rank test).CONCLUSION Targeted puncture of the left branch of the intrahepatic portal vein during TIPS may reduce the risk of HE but has no direct influence on prognosis of portalhypertension-related complications. | Shi-Hua Luo Jian-Guo Chu He Huang Guo-Rui Zhao Ke-Chun Yao | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019，25，9： | 22 |
| 7 | Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Versus Surgical Shunting in the Management of Portal Hypertension显示文摘Background: The purpose of this article was to clarify the optimal management concerning transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPSs) and surgical shunting in treating portal hypertension. Methods: All databases, including CBM, CNKI, WFPD, Medline, EMBASE, PubMed and Cochrane up to February 2014, were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TIPS with surgical shunting. Four RCTs, which were extracted by two independent investigators and were evaluated in postoperative complications, mortality, 2- and 5-year survival, hospital stay, operating time and hospitalization charges. Results: The morbidity in variceal rehemorrhage was significantly higher in TIPS than in surgical shunts (odds ratio [OR] = 7.45, 95% confidence interval[C/]: (3.93-14.15), P 〈 0.00001), the same outcomes were seen in shunt stenosis (OR = 20.01,95% CI: (6.67-59.99), P 〈 0.000001 ) and in hepatic encephalopathy (OR = 2.50, 95% CI: (1.63-3.84), P 〈 0.0001 ). Significantly better 2-year survival (OR = 0.66; 95% CI: (0.44-0.98), P ~ 0.04) and 5-year survival (OR = 0.44; 95% CI: (0.30-0.66), P 〈 0.00001) were seen in patients undergoing surgical shunting compared with TIPS. Conclusions: Compared with TIPS, postoperative complications and survival after surgical shunting were superior for patients with portal hypertension. Application of surgical shunting was recommended for patients rather than TIPS. | Long Huang Qing-Sheng Yu Qi Zhang Ju-Da Liu Zhen Wang | 2015 | Chinese Medical Journal2015，，6： | 17 |
| 8 | Combined transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and other interventions for hepatocellular carcinoma with portal hypertension显示文摘AIM: To evaluate combination transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS) and other interventions for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and portal hypertension.METHODS: Two hundred and sixty-one patients with HCC and portal hypertension underwent TIPS combined with other interventional treatments(transarterial chemoembolization/transarterial embolization,radiofrequency ablation,hepatic arterio-portal fistulas embolization,and splenic artery embolization) from January 1997 to January 2010 at Beijing Shijitan Hospital. Two hundred and nine patients(121 male and 88 female,aged 25-69 years,mean 48.3 ± 12.5 years) with complete clinical data were recruited. We evaluated the safety of the procedure(procedurerelated death and serious complications),change of portal vein pressure before and after TIPS,symptom relief [e.g.,ascites,hydrothorax,esophageal gastricfundus variceal bleeding(EGVB)],cumulative rates of survival,and distributary channel restenosis. The characteristics of the patients surviving ≥ 5 and < 5 years were also analyzed.RESULTS: The portosystemic pressure was decreased from 29.0 ± 4.1 mm Hg before TIPS to 18.1 ± 2.9 mm Hg after TIPS(t = 69.32,P < 0.05). Portosystemic pressure was decreased and portal hypertension symptoms were ameliorated. During the 5 year followup,the total recurrence rate of resistant ascites or hydrothorax was 7.2%(15/209); 36.8%(77/209) for EGVB; and 39.2%(82/209) for hepatic encephalopathy. The cumulative rates of distributary channel restenosis at 1,2,3,4,and 5 years were 17.2%(36/209),29.7%(62/209),36.8%(77/209),45.5%(95/209) and 58.4%(122/209),respectively. No procedure-related deaths and serious complications(e.g.,abdominal bleeding,hepatic failure,and distant metastasis) occurred. Moreover,Child-Pugh score,portal vein tumor thrombosis,lesion diameter,hepatic arterio-portal fistulas,HCC diagnosed before or after TIPS,stent type,hepatic encephalopathy,and type of other interventional treatments were related to 5 year survival after comparing patient characteristics.CONCLUSION: TIPS combined with other interventional treatments seems to be safe and efficacious in patients with HCC and portal hypertension. | Bin Qiu Meng-Fei Zhao Zhen-Dong Yue Hong-Wei Zhao Lei Wang Zhen-Hua Fan Fu-Liang He Shan Dai Jian-Nan Yao Fu-Quan Liu | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，43： | 16 |
| 9 | Current approaches to the management of patients with cirrhotic ascites显示文摘This review describes current approaches to the management of patients with cirrhotic ascites in relation to the severity of its clinical manifestations. The PubMed database, the Google Scholar retrieval system, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the reference lists from related articles were used to search for relevant publications. Articles corresponding to the aim of the review were selected for 1991-2018 using the keywords:“liver cirrhosis,”“portal hypertension,”“ascites,”“pathogenesis,”“diagnostics,” and “treatment.” Uncomplicated and refractory ascites in patients with cirrhosis were the inclusion criteria. The literature analysis has shown that despite the achievements of modern hepatology, the presence of ascites is associated with poor prognosis and high mortality. The key to successful management of patients with ascites may be the stratification of the risk of an adverse outcome and personalized therapy. Pathogenetically based approach to the choice of pharmacotherapy and optimization of minimally invasive methods of treatment may improve the quality of life and increase the survival rate of this category of patients. | Dmitry Victorovich Garbuzenko Nikolay Olegovich Arefyev | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019，25，28： | 15 |
| 10 | 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 |
| 11 | Selection of a TIPS stent for management of portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis: An evidence-based review显示文摘Nowadays,transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)has become a mainstay treatment option for the management of portal hypertension-related complications in liver cirrhosis.Accumulated evidence has shown that its indications are being gradually expanded.Notwithstanding,less attention has been paid for the selection of an appropriate stent during a TIPS procedure.Herein,we attempt to review the current evidence regarding the diameter,type,brand,and position of TIPS stents.Several following recommendations may be considered in the clinical practice:(1)a 10-mm stent may be more effective than an 8-mm stent for the management of portal hypertension,and may be superior to a 12-mm stent for the improvement of survival and shunt patency;(2)covered stents are superior to bare stents for reducing the development of shunt dysfunction;(3)if available,Viatorr stent-grafts may be recommended due to a higher rate of shunt patency;and(4)the placement of a TIPS stent in the left portal vein branch may be more reasonable for decreasingthe development of hepatic encephalopathy.However,given relatively low quality of evidence,prospective well-designed studies should be warranted to further confirm these recommendations. | Xing-Shun Qi Ming Bai Zhi-Ping Yang Dai-Ming Fan | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，21： | 13 |
| 12 | Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt with covered stents for hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS) with covered stents for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with main portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT). METHODS: Eleven advanced HCC patients(all male, aged 37-78 years, mean: 54.3 ± 12.7 years) presented with acute massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding(n = 9) or refractory ascites(n = 2) due to tumor thrombus in the main portal vein. The diagnosis of PVTT was based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography and color Doppler sonography. The patients underwent TIPS with covered stents. Clinical characteristics and average survival time of 11 patients were analyzed. Portal vein pressure was assessed before and after TIPS. The follow-up period was 2-18 mo. RESULTS: TIPS with covered stents was successfully completed in all 11 patients. The mean portal vein pressure was reduced from 32.0 to 11.8 mmHg(t = 10.756, P = 0.000). Gastrointestinal bleeding was stopped in nine patients. Refractory ascites completely disappeared in one patient and was alleviated in another. Hepatic encephalopathy was observed in six patients and was resolved with drug therapy. During the follow-up, ultrasound indicated the patency of the shunt and there was no recurrence of symptoms. Death occurred 2-14 mo(mean: 5.67 mo) after TIPS in nine cases, which were all due to multiple organ failure. In the remaining two cases, the patients were still alive at the 16- and 18-mo follow-up, respectively. CONCLUSION: TIPS with covered stents for HCC patients with tumor thrombus in the main portal vein is technically feasible, and short-term efficacy is favorable. | Jian-Bo Zhao Chao Feng Qiao-Hua Zhu Xiao-Feng He Yan-Hao Li Yong Chen | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，6： | 12 |
| 13 | Imaging and interventions in Budd-Chiari syndrome显示文摘Budd-Chiari syndrome(BCS) consists of a group of disorders with obstruction of hepatic venous outflow leading to increased hepatic sinusoidal pressure and portal hypertension.Clinically,two forms of disease(acute and chronic) are recognized.Mostly the patients present with ascites,hepatomegaly,and portal hypertension.In acute disease the liver is enlarged with thrombosed hepatic veins(HV) and ascites,whereas in the chronic form of the disease there may be membranous occlusion of HV and/or the inferior vena cava(IVC),or there may be short or long segment fibrotic constriction of HV or the suprahepatic IVC.Due to advances in radiological interventional techniques and hardware,there have been changes in the management protocol of BCS with surgery being offered to patients not suitable for radiological interventions or having acute liver failure requiring liver transplantation.The present article gives an insight into various imaging findings and interventional techniques employed in the management of BCS. | Amar Mukund Shivanand Gamanagatti | 2011 | World Journal of Radiology2011，3，7： | 11 |
| 14 | Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for the prevention of recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with cavernous transformation of portal vein显示文摘Background: Treatment options for patients with cavernous transformation of portal vein(CTPV) are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS) to prevent recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with CTPV. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 67 consecutive patients undergone TIPS from January 2011 to December 2016. All patients were diagnosed with CTPV. The indication for TIPS was a previous episode of variceal bleeding. The data on recurrent bleeding, stent patency, hepatic encephalopathy and survival were retrieved and analyzed. Results: TIPS procedure was successfully performed in 56 out of 67(83.6%) patients with CTPV. TIPS was performed via a transjugular approach alone( n = 15), a combined transjugular/transhepatic approach( n = 33) and a combined transjugular/transsplenic approach( n = 8). Mean portosystemic pressure gradient(PSG) decreased from 28.09 ± 7.28 mmHg to 17.53 ± 6.12 mmHg after TIPS( P < 0.01). The probability of the remaining free recurrent variceal bleeding was 87.0%. The probability of TIPS patency reached 81.5%. Hepatic encephalopathy occurrence was 27.8%, and survival rate was 88.9% until the end of follow-up. Four out of 11 patients who failed TIPS died, and 4 had recurrent bleeding. Conclusions: TIPS should be considered a safe and feasible alternative therapy to prevent recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with CTPV, and to achieve clinical improvement. | Zhao-Peng Li Sui-Sui Wang Guang-Chuan Wang Guang-Jun Huang Jing-Qin Cao Chun-Qing Zhang | 2018 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2018，17，6： | 11 |
| 15 | Safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt combined with palliative treatment in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND There is a close relationship between cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has good clinical effect in treating the complication of portal hypertension. However, because of the risk of postoperative liver failure, severe complications, and low survival rate for HCC, TIPS is contraindicated in patients with portal hypertension and liver cancer. We studied a large cohort of patients with cirrhosis and HCC who underwent TIPS for recurrent variceal bleeding and/or ascites. AIM To assess the safety, efficacy, and survival rate in patients with HCC who underwent TIPS. METHODS Group A comprised 217 patients with HCC and portal hypertension who underwent the TIPS procedure between 1999 and 2014. After TIPS deployment, these patients received palliative treatment for HCC. Group B comprised a cohort of 136 HCC patients with portal hypertension who did not undergo TIPS placement. Group B received palliative treatment for HCC plus medical therapy for portal hypertension. The clinical outcomes and survival rate were assessed. RESULTS In Group A, the primary technical success rate was 97.69% for TIPS placement,and no severe procedure-related complications of TIPS placement were reported. The control of variceal bleeding (VB) within 1 mo did not differ significantly between the groups (P = 0.261). Absorption of refractory ascites within 1 mo, recurrence of VB, and recurrence of refractory ascites differed significantly between the groups (P = 0.017, 0.023, and 0.009, respectively). By comparison, the rate of hepatic encephalopathy in Group B was lower than that in Group A (P = 0.036). The 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year survival rates were significantly different between Groups A and B (χ^2 = 12.227, P = 0.018;χ^2 = 12.457, P = 0.014;χ^2 = 26.490, P = 0.013;χ^2 = 21.956, P = 0.009, and χ^2 = 24.596, P = 0.006, respectively). The mean survival time was 43.7 mo in Group A and 31.8 mo in Group B. Median survival time was 50.0 mo in Group A and 33.0 mo in Group B. Mean and median survival differed significantly between the two groups (P = 0.000,χ^2 = 35.605, log-rank test). The mortality rate from VB in Group A was higher than that in Group B (P = 0.006), but the rates of hepatic tumor, hepatic failure, and multiorgan failure did not differ significantly between the two groups (P = 0.173, 0.246 and 0.257, respectively). CONCLUSION TIPS combined with palliative treatment is safe and effective for portal hypertension in patients with HCC. | Shi-Hua Luo Jian-Guo Chu He Huang Ke-Chun Yao | 2019 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2019，7，13： | 10 |
| 16 | Stent-grafts for the treatment of TIPS dysfunction:Fluency stent vs Wallgraft stent显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of an expanded polytetrafluoro-ethylene-covered Fluency stent compared with that of a polyethylene terephthalate-covered Wallgraft stent for the management of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)dysfunction.METHODS:A retrospective review of patients who underwent TIPS revision with stent-grafts between May 2007 and June 2011 was conducted.The patients were divided into two groups according to the stentgrafts implanted:the Fluency stent(Bard Incorporated,Karlsruhe,Germany)and the Wallgraft stent(Boston Scientific,Galway,Ireland).The primary patency rates were calculated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method.RESULTS:A total of 73 patients were evaluated in this study:33 with Fluency stents and 40 with Wallgraft stents.The primary patency rates at 12 and 24 mo were 91% and 85%,respectively,in the Fluency stent group and 78% and 63%,respectively,in the Wallgraft stent group.The primary shunt patency rates after TIPS revision were significantly better with the Fluency stent than with the Wallgraft stent(P = 0.033).CONCLUSION:TIPS revision with the Fluency stent has higher medium-term patency rates than that with the Wallgraft stent. | Xue-Feng Luo Ling Nie Zhu Wang Jiaywei Tsauo Ling-Jun Liu Yang Yu Biao Zhou Cheng-Wei Tang Xiao Li | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，30： | 9 |
| 17 | Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt combined with esophagogastric variceal embolization in the treatment of a large gastrorenal shunt显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS) combined with stomach and esophageal variceal embolization(SEVE) in cirrhotic patients with a large gastrorenal vessel shunt(GRVS).METHODS: Eighty-one cirrhotic patients with gastric variceal bleeding(GVB) associated with a GRVS were enrolled in the study and accepted TIPS combined with SEVE(TIPS + SEVE), by which portosystemic pressuregradient(PPG), biochemical, TIPS-related complications, shunt dysfunction, rebleeding, and death were evaluated. RESULTS: The PPGs before TIPS were greater than 12 mmH g in 81 patients. TIPS + SEVE treatment caused a significant decrease in PPG(from 37.97 ± 6.36 mmH g to 28.15 ± 6.52 mm Hg, t = 19.22, P < 0.001). The percentage of reduction in PPG was greater than 20%from baseline. There were no significant differences in albumin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, bilirubin, prothrombin time, or Child-Pugh score before and after operation. In all patients, rebleeding rates were 3%, 6%, 12%, 18%, and 18% at 1,3, 6, 12, and 18 mo, respectively. Five patients(6.2%)were diagnosed as having hepatic encephalopathy. The rates of shunt dysfunction were 0%, 4%, 9%, 26%,and 26%, at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 mo, respectively. The cumulative survival rates in 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 mo were100%, 100%, 95%, 90%, and 90%, respectively.CONCLUSION: Our preliminary results indicated that the efficacy and safety of TIPS + SEVE were satisfactory in cirrhotic patients with GVB associated with a GRVS(GVB + GRVS). | Qin Jiang Ming-Quan Wang Guo-Bing Zhang Qiong Wu Jian-Ming Xu De-Run Kong | 2016 | World Journal of Hepatology2016，8，20： | 9 |
| 18 | Relationship between pre-TIPS hepatic hemodynamics and postoperative incidence of hepatic encephalopathy显示文摘BACKGROUND: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is one of the complications that have limited the effectiveness of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) most significantly. Up to the present, the predicting factors of HE post-TIPS have been debated controversially. This study was undertaken to verify the relationship between pre-TIPS intrahepatic hemodynamics and the incidence of post-TIPS HE. METHODS: The hepatic blood dynamics was evaluated in 41 patients with liver cirrhosis before TIPS and at one month after TIPS by ultrasonography. The patients were divided into two groups according to Doppler findings before TIPS: group 1, patients with prograde portal flow, and group 2, patients with hepatofugal or back-forth portal flow. The clinical characteristics (age, sex, etiology of liver disease, pre-TIPS Child-Pugh score, incidence of pre-TIPS HE, and portacaval pressure gradient), incidence of post TIPS HE, and pre-/post-TIPS hepatic arterial resistant index (RI) in the two groups were compared. The independent prognostic value of pre-TIPS variables for the onset of HE after TIPS, including age, Child-Pugh score, presence of HE before TIPS, and the pattern of portal flow, was tested with a multiple-factor regression analysis. RESULTS: No significant difference in age, etiology of liver disease, indications of TIPS placement, incidence of HE before TIPS, and portacaval gradient before and after TIPS was observed between the two groups; but liver failure was more severe in group 2 (P<0.05). The incidence of post-TIPS HE in group 2 was significantly lower than that in group 1 (P<0.01). Pre-TIPS, the RI of the hepatic artery in group 1 was significantly higher than that in group 2 (P<0.01). However, TIPS induced a significantly decreased RI in group 1 (P <0.01), but not in group 2. Multiple-factor regression analysis demonstrated that the pattern of portal flow before TIPS was closely associated with the onset of post TIPS HE. CONCLUSIONS: Pre-TIPS intrahepatic hetnodynamics is closely related to the incidence of post-TIPS HE. Hepatic hetnodynamics of patients with hepatofugal portal blood flow only changes a little after TIPS and still provides compensatory blood supply of the hepatic artery, and the hepatic function is less affected. Hence HE is unlikely. Hepatic hemodynamics of patients with prograde portal blood flow changes a lot after TIPS, and dual blood supply of the portal vein and hepatic artery changes into compensatory blood supply of the hepatic artery, and hepatic function suffers greatly in a short time. Thus HE is mostly likely. | Dan Deng, Ming-Song Liao, Jian-Ping Qin and Xiao-An Li Departments of Ultrasonography Gastroenterology General Hospital, Cheng- du Military Command, Chengdu 610083, China | 2006 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2006，5，2： | 9 |
| 19 | Imaging and radiological interventions in extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction显示文摘Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction(EHPVO) is a primary vascular condition characterized by chronic long standing blockage and cavernous transformation of portal vein with or without additional involvement of intrahepatic branches, splenic or superior mesenteric vein. Patients generally present in childhood with multiple episodes of variceal bleed and EHPVO is the predominant cause of paediatric portal hypertension(PHT) in developing countries. It is a pre-hepatic type of PHT in which liver functions and morphology are preserved till late. Characteristic imaging findings include multiple parabiliary venous collaterals which form to bypass the obstructed portal vein with resultant changes in biliary tree termed portal biliopathy or portal cavernoma cholangiopathy. Ultrasound with Doppler, computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiography and magnetic resonance portovenography are non-invasive techniques which can provide a comprehensive analysis of degree and extent of EHPVO, collaterals and bile duct abnormalities. These can also be used to assess in surgical planning as well screening for shunt patency in post-operative patients. The multitude of changes and complications seen in EHPVO can be addressed by various radiological interventional procedures. The myriad of symptoms arising secondary to vascular, biliary, visceral and neurocognitive changes in EHPVO can be managed by various radiological interventions like transjugular intra-hepatic portosystemic shunt, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, partial splenic embolization, balloon occluded retrograde obliteration of portosystemic shunt(PSS) and revision of PSS. | Sudheer S Pargewar Saloni N Desai S Rajesh Vaibhav P Singh Ankur Arora Amar Mukund | 2016 | World Journal of Radiology2016，8，6： | 8 |
| 20 | Treatment of ectopic varices with portal hypertension显示文摘Ectopic varices are unusual with portal hypertension and can involve any site along the digestive tract outside the gastroesophageal region. Hemorrhage from ectopic varices generally are massive and life threatening.Diagnosis of ectopic varices is difficult and subsequent treatment is also difficult; the optimal treatment has not been established. Recently, interventional radiology and endoscopic treatments have been carried out successfully for hemorrhage from ectopic varices. | Takahiro Sato | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015，7，12： | 8 |
