Comparison of Non-Tumoral Portal Vein Thrombosis Management in Cirrhotic Patients: TIPS Versus Anticoagulation Versus No Treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a lack of consensus in optimal management of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with cirrhosis. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and thrombosis burden change for cirrhotic patients with non-tumoral PVT managed by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) only, anticoagulation only, or no treatment.

Methods

This single-center retrospective study evaluated 52 patients with cirrhosis and non-tumoral PVT managed by TIPS only (14), anticoagulation only (11), or no treatment (27). The demographic, clinical, and imaging data for patients were collected. The portomesenteric thrombosis burden and liver function tests at early follow-up (6-9 months) and late follow-up (9-16 months) were compared to the baseline. Adverse events including bleeding and encephalopathy were recorded.

Results

The overall portomesenteric thrombosis burden improved in eight (72%) TIPS patients, three (27%) anticoagulated patients, and two (10%) untreated patients at early follow-up (p = 0.001) and in seven (78%) TIPS patients, two (29%) anticoagulated patients, and three (17%) untreated patients in late follow-up (p = 0.007). No bleeding complications attributable to anticoagulation were observed.

Conclusion

TIPS decreased portomesenteric thrombus burden compared to anticoagulation or no treatment for cirrhotic patients with PVT. Both TIPS and anticoagulation were safe therapies.

Acute TIPS occlusion due to iatrogenic arteriovenous shunt in a cirrhotic patient with total portal vein thrombosis.

Project description:A 69-year-old man with portal hypertension was admitted with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis and diuretic resistant ascites. Ultrasound revealed partial portal thrombosis. Due to diuretic intolerance, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was decided during which a hepatic arterial branch was inadvertently catheterized. Finally, TIPS was created, but the patient continued gaining weight. Color-Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) showed upper stent part patency with absence of flow in lower stent portion. Twenty-five days later, the patient presented melena. Endoscopy revealed blood emerging from the Vater papilla. Hepatic angiography revealed arteriovenous shunt between a hepatic arterial branch and the proximal part of the TIPS shunt. Covered stent placement restored sufficient TIPS flow. The patient deteriorated and died 1 month later. We found out that our major technical drawback was that we did not inject a small amount of contrast after puncturing the supposed portal vein, in order to confirm correct position of the needle.

Efficacy and Safety of Nadroparin Calcium-Warfarin Sequential Anticoagulation in Portal Vein Thrombosis in Cirrhotic Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Anticoagulation therapy in portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with cirrhosis is still a matter of debate. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nadroparin calcium-warfarin sequential (NWS) anticoagulation therapy in cirrhotic patients and to find an optimal anticoagulation strategy. METHODS:Consecutive cirrhotic patients with PVT who have not received anticoagulation therapy were randomly divided into the NWS therapy group (1-month nadroparin calcium by subcutaneous injection followed by 5-month warfarin by oral administration) and control group (no anticoagulation therapy). Overall recanalization rate of PVT and risks of bleeding were evaluated at the sixth month. RESULTS:Among 64 patients, complete or partial recanalization of PVT was observed in 20/32 NSW therapy group patients vs 11/32 control group patients (62.5% vs 34.4%, P = 0.024), with no statistically significant difference in bleeding rate. Child-Pugh score (P = 0.023), D-dimer < 2.00 ?g/mL (P = 0.020), and NWS anticoagulation therapy (P = 0.004) were predictors associated with the recanalization. NWS anticoagulation therapy (P = 0.008) was an independent predicting factor of recanalization. In the NWS therapy group, the Child-Pugh score (P = 0.007) and albumin level (P = 0.004) were improved in the sixth month. DISCUSSION:NWS anticoagulation therapy was effective and safe in PVT patients with cirrhosis and could increase the level of albumin. NWS therapy is safe and easily accepted.

Portal vein thrombosis with protein C-S deficiency in a non-cirrhotic patient.

Project description:There are several conditions that can lead to portal vein thrombosis (PVT), including including infection, malignancies, and coagulation disorders. Anew condition of interest is protein C and S deficiencies, associated with hypercoagulation and recurrent venous thromboembolism. We report the case of a non-cirrhotic 63-year-old male diagnosed with acute superior mesenteric vein thrombosis and PVT and combined deficiencies in proteins C and S, recanalized by short-term low molecular heparin plus oral warfarin therapy.

Portal vein thrombosis.

Project description:Portal vein thrombosis is an important cause of portal hypertension. PVT occurs in association with cirrhosis or as a result of malignant invasion by hepatocellular carcinoma or even in the absence of associated liver disease. With the current research into its genesis, majority now have an underlying prothrombotic state detectable. Endothelial activation and stagnant portal blood flow also contribute to formation of the thrombus. Acute non-cirrhotic PVT, chronic PVT (EHPVO), and portal vein thrombosis in cirrhosis are the three main variants of portal vein thrombosis with varying etiological factors and variability in presentation and management. Procoagulant state should be actively investigated. Anticoagulation is the mainstay of therapy for acute non-cirrhotic PVT, with supporting evidence for its use in cirrhotic population as well. Chronic PVT (EHPVO) on the other hand requires the management of portal hypertension as such and with role for anticoagulation in the setting of underlying prothrombotic state, however data is awaited in those with no underlying prothrombotic states. TIPS and liver transplant may be feasible even in the setting of PVT however proper selection of candidates and type of surgery is warranted. Thrombolysis and thrombectomy have some role. TARE is a new modality for management of HCC with portal vein invasion.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt may be superior to conservative therapy for variceal rebleeding in cirrhotic patients with non-tumoral portal vein thrombosis: a hypothesis.

Project description:The presence of occlusive portal vein thrombosis (PVT) greatly changes the natural history of liver cirrhosis, because it not only significantly increases the incidence of variceal rebleeding but also negatively influences the survival. However, due to the absence of strong evidence, no standard treatment algorithm for the secondary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients with non-tumoral PVT has been established. Previous randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) can significantly decrease the incidence of variceal rebleeding in cirrhotic patients without PVT, compared with conservative therapy (i.e., endoscopic plus pharmacological therapy). Further, several large cohort studies have confirmed that TIPS can effectively prevent variceal rebleeding in cirrhotic patients with non-tumoral PVT. On the other hand, TIPS can facilitate recanalizing the thrombosed portal vein by endovascular manipulations, even in the presence of cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV). More importantly, successful TIPS insertions can maintain the persistent portal vein patency, and avoid thrombus extension into the portal venous system. By comparison, anticoagulation therapy can achieve portal vein recanalization only in patients with partial PVT, but not in those with occlusive PVT or CTPV, and the use of anticoagulants may aggravate the risk of variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients with a history of variceal bleeding. Collectively, we hypothesize that TIPS may be superior to conservative therapy for the prevention of variceal rebleeding in cirrhotic patients with non-tumoral PVT. Randomized controlled trials should be conducted to evaluate the survival benefit of TIPS in these patients.

A Dynamic Nomogram Predicting Portal Vein Thrombosis in Cirrhotic Patients During Primary Prophylaxis for Variceal Hemorrhage.

Project description:BackgroundPortal vein thrombosis (PVT) would exert a further increase in resistance to portal blood flow, resulting in worsening portal hypertension and poor outcome. This study aimed to identify risk factors and develop an clinically applicable dynamic nomogram predicting the occurrence of PVT in cirrhotic patients during primary prophylaxis for variveal hemorrhage (VH).MethodsThe multi-center retrospective study enrolled cirrhotic patients with high-risk varices, which were further divided into training and validation cohorts for 3 years follow-up. A dynamic nomogram based on the Cox proportional hazard regression model was developed with the cutoff value calculated by X-title analysis. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated with Harrell's concordance index (C-index), calibration curve and decision curve analysis.Results91 (34.0%) of the whole cohort were diagnosed with PVT during 3-year follow-up. Variables including carvedilol (P < 0.001), low portal vein velocity (P < 0.001), increased size of esophageal varices (P = 0.005), and high HbA1c (P < 0.001) and procalcitonin (P = 0.015) were identified to be independently associated with PVT, which were further incorporated into the dynamic nomogram with optimal cutoff (8.8 and 14.6) for risk-stratification. The C-indexes (0.894 of internal validation and 0.892 of external validation) and calibration curves demonstrated ideal discrimination and calibration. The thresholds for more reasonable application of the nomogram were 0-0.27, 0-0.66, and 0.04-1.00 at 1, 2, and 3-year, respectively.ConclusionThe dynamic nomogram could be accurately and reliably used for clinical risk-stratification of PVT in cirrhotic patients during primary prophylaxis for VH.

Bed rest versus early ambulation with standard anticoagulation in the management of deep vein thrombosis: a meta-analysis.

Project description:IntroductionBed rest has been considered as the cornerstone of management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) for a long time, though it is not evidence-base, and there is growing evidence favoring early ambulation.MethodsElectronic databases including Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library and three Chinese databases were searched with key words of "deep vein thrombosis", "pulmonary embolism", "venous thrombosis", "bed rest", "immobilization", "mobilization" and "ambulation". We considered randomized controlled trials, prospective or retrospective cohort studies that compared the outcomes of acute DVT patients managed with early ambulation versus bed rest, in addition to standard anticoagulation. Meta-analysis pertaining to the incidence of new pulmonary embolism (PE), progression of DVT, and DVT related deaths were conducted, as well as the extent of remission of pain and edema.Results13 studies were included with a total of 3269 patients. Compared to bed rest, early ambulation was not associated with a higher incidence of new PE, progression of DVT, or DVT related deaths (RD -0.03, 95% CI -0.05∼ -0.02; Z = 1.24, p = 0.22; random effect model, Tau2 = 0.01). Moreover, if the patients suffered moderate or severe pain initially, early ambulation was related to a better outcome, with respect to remission of acute pain in the affected limb (SMD 0.42, 95%CI 0.09∼0.74; Z = 2.52, p = 0.01; random effect model, Tau2 = 0.04). Meta-analysis of alleviation of edema cannot elicit a solid conclusion because of significant heterogeneity among the few studies.ConclusionsCompared to bed rest, early ambulation of acute DVT patients with anticoagulation was not associated with a higher incidence of new PE, progression of DVT, and DVT related deaths. Furthermore, for the patients suffered moderate or severe pain initially, a better outcome can be seen in early ambulation group, regarding to the remission of acute pain in the affected limb.

Risk factors for portal vein thrombosis or venous thromboembolism in a large cohort of hospitalized cirrhotic patients.

Project description:BackgroundPortal vein thrombosis (PVT) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are fearsome complications of liver cirrhosis.ObjectivesTo assess the prevalence and the main risk factors for venous thrombotic complications in hospitalized cirrhotic patients.Patients/methodsWe retrospectively reviewed electronic administrative discharge data of 19461 cirrhotic patients hospitalized over a 35-year period; univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to asses risk factors for PVT or VTE and their impact on hospital stay and mortality.Results382 out of 7445 patients (5.1%) were diagnosed with PVT and 95 (1.3%) with VTE. Liver cirrhosis complications were observed in 45% of patients. Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) (OR 13.88 [10.76-17.98] p < 0.0001), endoscopic signs of portal hypertension (OR 1.33 [1.02-1.75] p = 0.02), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (OR 4.59 [3.6-5.84] p < 0.0001), diabetes (OR 1.68 [1.27-2.22] p = 0.0001), abdominal surgery/invasive procedures (OR 2.03 [1.56-2.64] p < 0.0001) emerged as independent predictors of PVT. Higher risk of VTE was observed in patients with HE (OR 3.21 [1.78-5.79] p < 0.0001), HCC (OR 1.98 [1.23-3.19] p = 0.002) or other tumors (OR 2.48 [1.42-4.32] p = 0.001), acute illnesses (infections OR 3.01 [1.84-5.05] p = 0.0001; cardiac/respiratory insufficiency OR 2.4 [1.27-4.53] p = 0.003; acute myocardial infarction/stroke OR 7.86 [1.76-35.12] p = 0.003). VTE was the only independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (OR 4.45 [1.05-18.81] p = 0.042).ConclusionsLiver disease complications related to portal hypertension, HCC or other tumors, diabetes, acute illnesses (i.e. infections, cardiac/pulmonary insufficiency, acute myocardial infarction/stroke) and abdominal interventions are associated with increased risk of PVT or VTE in hospitalized cirrhotic patients, and should be considered to define personalized preemptive approaches.

Techniques of TIPS in the treatment of liver cirrhosis combined with incompletely occlusive main portal vein thrombosis.

Project description:The patients of liver cirrhosis associated with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) can be effectively treated by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPS). Although the corresponding TIPS procedures have already performed on the patients to different types of PVT, the procedures are not specific and the relationship between different types of PVT and technical success rate of TIPS is unclear. What's more, we aimed to explore the relationship between survival and vascular patency immediately after TIPS. 191 subjects underwent retrospective assessment. Appropriate TIPS procedures were performed based on our more specific classification. The overall success rate of TIPS was 95.8% (183/191). Success rate was significantly different between Grade II and Grade IV thrombosis (?(2)?=?5.294, P?=?0.021). The 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-and 5-year survival rates were 95.6%, 89.1%, 83.1%, 76.5% and 67.8%, respectively. The overall survival time of completely patent PV and incomplete patent PV immediately after TIPS was 57.05?±?0.75 vs. 39.12?±?2.64 months, respectively (P?<?0.0001). We conclude that appropriate TIPS procedures and lower grade of PVT are essential for better technical success rate of TIPS. The patency of target vessels is important for survival.
