Timing and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in patients with pyrrolizidine alkaloid-induced hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome

ABSTRACT: There is no specific treatment for pyrrolizidine alkaloid-induced hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (PA-HSOS). It is not clear when transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) should be implemented in PA-HSOS patients. This study aimed to evaluate the timing of TIPS using total bilirubin (TBIL) as a measure, and to investigate efficacy of TIPS. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 10 PA-HSOS patients, among whom 4 patients had received TIPS (TIPS group), and the remaining patients were assigned to the internal medicine group. In the TIPS group, the TBIL level before TIPS was 84.4 ± 45.2 µmol/L (> 3 mg/dL), and TBIL levels were increased to different degrees after TIPS. With the extension of time, serum TBIL levels gradually decreased, and no liver failure occurred. With regards to the short-term outcomes, 3 patients recovered, 1 developed chronic illness and 0 died in the TIPS group. Moreover, 0 patients recovered, 5 developed chronic illness and 1 died in the internal medicine group. The rank sum test of group design revealed significant differences in clinical outcomes (P = 0.02). It was suggested that when the internal medicine effect of PA-HSOS patients is poor, TIPS should be considered, which is no trestricted to the limit of 3 mg/dL TBIL. It was also found TIPS effectively promote the recovery of liver function and reduce the occurrence of chronicity.

Application of fecal microbial transplantation in hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.

Project description:RationaleTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is mainly used to treat acute and chronic esophageal, gastric, and intestinal variceal bleeding and refractory ascites caused by portal hypertension. The most common complication of TIPS is the development of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an emerging method for treating diseases by altering the intestinal flora. We present 2 cases of FMT that ameliorated liver function and HE after TIPS.Patient concernsIn this report, 2 patients with liver cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis B had recurrent Grade 2-3 HE after TIPS.DiagnosisTwo patients were diagnosed as having HE.InterventionsThe 2 patients separately received 3 times of FMT.OutcomesThe liver function of both patients improved, the clinical symptoms were relieved, and the number of HE attacks decreased significantly after FMT.LessonsFMT may be another effective way to treat HE, and is worthy of further research.

Prediction of overt hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt treatment: a cohort study.

Project description:Background/purposeOvert hepatic encephalopathy (HE) risk should be preoperatively predicted to identify patients suitable for curative transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) instead of palliative treatments.MethodsA total of 185 patients who underwent TIPS procedure were randomised (130 in the training dataset and 55 in the validation dataset). Clinical factors and imaging characteristics were assessed. Three different models were established by logistic regression analyses based on clinical factors (ModelC), imaging characteristics (ModelI), and a combination of both (ModelCI). Their discrimination, calibration, and decision curves were compared, to identify the best model. Subgroup analysis was performed for the best model.ResultsModelCI, which contained two clinical factors and two imaging characteristics, was identified as the best model. The areas under the curve of ModelC, ModelI, and ModelCI were 0.870, 0.963, and 0.978 for the training dataset and 0.831, 0.971, and 0.969 for the validation dataset. The combined model outperformed the clinical and imaging models in terms of calibration and decision curves. The performance of ModelCI was not influenced by total bilirubin, Child-Pugh stages, model of end-stage liver disease score, or ammonia. The subgroup with a risk score ≥ 0.88 exhibited a higher proportion of overt HE (training dataset: 13.3% vs. 97.4%, p < 0.001; validation dataset: 0.0% vs. 87.5%, p < 0.001).ConclusionOur combination model can successfully predict the risk of overt HE post-TIPS. For the low-risk subgroup, TIPS can be performed safely; however, for the high-risk subgroup, it should be considered more carefully.

Direct Intrahepatic Portocaval Shunt for Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome Associated with Hepatotoxicity of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids.

Project description:We retrospectively identified 89 consecutive patients from January 2004 to January 2012 to investigate efficacy of direct intrahepatic portocaval shunt (DIPS) combined with inferior vena cava (IVC) stenting for sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) associated with hepatotoxicity of pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Indications for treatment were variceal hemorrhage and/or refractory ascites. Patients were treated with DIPS plus IVC stenting (group A, n=68) or DIPS alone (group B, n=21). A technical success rate of 100% was obtained in all 89 patients, and there were no early procedure-related adverse events or 30-day mortality. Mean portosystemic gradient decreased in both groups. Changes in aspartate and alanine aminotransferases and total bilirubin did not differ between the groups. Ascites disappeared in group A but was not obvious in group B until IVC stenting. During follow-up, recurrent bleeding and ascites and incidence of hepatic encephalopathy did not differ between the groups. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate was 98, 89.59, and 80%, respectively. Satisfactory clinical results were obtained for combined DIPS and IVC stenting for SOS associated with pyrrolizidine-alkaloid-related decompensated cirrhosis.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: indications, contraindications, and patient work-up.

Project description:The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure is effective in achieving portal decompression and in managing some of the major complications of portal hypertension. While many clinicians are familiar with the two most common indications for TIPS placement, secondary prophylaxis of esophageal variceal hemorrhage and treatment of refractory ascites, evidence for its usefulness is growing in other entities, where it has been less extensively studied but demonstrates promising results. Newer indications include early utilization in the treatment of esophageal variceal hemorrhage, Budd-Chiari syndrome, ectopic varices, and portal vein thrombosis. The referring clinician and interventionist must remain cognizant of the contraindications to the procedure to avoid complications and potential harm to the patient. This review is designed to provide an in-depth analysis of the most common as well as less typical indications for TIPS placement, and to discuss the contraindications and appropriate patient evaluation for this procedure.

A nomogram to predict the risk of hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in Cirrhotic Patients.

Project description:Background and aimHepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious complication of decompensated liver cirrhosis, affecting the prognosis of patients underwent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS). We aim to create a nomogram to predict hepatic encephalopathy- free survivals (HEFS) after TIPS in cirrhotic patients and select appropriate candidates for TIPS.MethodsCirrhotic patients underwent TIPS from 2015 to 2018 in our department were included. Multivariable Cox regression was conducted to estimate the predictors of overt HE (OHE) after TIPS within one year. A nomogram based on the Cox proportional hazard model using data from a retrospective training cohort (70% of the patients) was developed. Then the prediction model was validated in the remaining 30% patients by Harrell's C-indexes, ROC curves and calibration plots.ResultsOf 373 patients, 117 developed postoperative OHE (31.4%). The training and validation groups comprised 83 (31.4%) and 34 (31.2%) patients, respectively. The cumulative survival rates of patients with HE at 1, 2 and 3 years were 90%, 83% and 76%, respectively. The nomogram included the following variables: age, Child-Turcotte-Pugh class (CTP class), diabetes mellitus (DM), serum creatinine and serum sodium (C-index = 0.772). The C-index for HEFS prediction was 0.773 for the validation cohort. The ROC for predicting HEFS was 0.809 and 0.783, respectively.ConclusionsWe created a nomogram of predicting postoperative HEFS in cirrhotic patients received TIPS. This nomogram could be an important tool of HE risk prediction before TIPS to guide the therapeutic strategy in cirrhotic patients.

Hepatic hydrothorax does not increase the risk of death after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in cirrhosis patients.

Project description:ObjectivesHepatic hydrothorax (HH) is a predictor of poor survival in cirrhosis patients. However, whether HH increases the mortality risk of cirrhosis patients treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is unknown. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of HH on the survival of cirrhosis patients after TIPS.MethodsCirrhosis patients with portal hypertension complications were selected from a prospective database of consecutive patients treated with TIPS in Xijing Hospital from January 2015 to June 2021. Cirrhosis patients with HH were treated as the experimental group. A control group of cirrhosis patients without HH was created using propensity score matching. Survival after TIPS and the related risk factors were analysed.ResultsThere were 1292 cirrhosis patients with portal hypertension complications treated with TIPS, among whom 255 patients had HH. Compared with patients without HH, patients with HH had worse liver function (MELD, 12 vs. 10, p < 0.001), but no difference in survival after TIPS was observed. After propensity score matching, 243 patients with HH and 243 patients without HH were enrolled. There was no difference in cumulative survival between patients with and without HH. Cox regression analysis showed that HH was not associated with survival after TIPS, and main portal vein thrombosis (> 50%) was a prognostic factor of long-term survival after TIPS in cirrhosis patients (hazard ratio, 1.386; 95% CI, 1.030-1.865, p = 0.031).ConclusionHepatic hydrothorax does not increase the risk of death after TIPS in cirrhosis patients.Key points• Hepatic hydrothorax is a decompensated event of cirrhosis and increases the risk of death. • Hepatic hydrothorax is associated with worse liver function. • Hepatic hydrothorax does not increase the mortality of cirrhosis treated with TIPS.

Spleen Stiffness Predicts Survival after Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt in Cirrhotic Patients.

Project description:ObjectivesTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective intervention for portal hypertensive complications. Little is known about the ability of spleen stiffness (SS) for predicting the survival of cirrhotic patients undergoing TIPS. This study is to evaluate the influence of SS detected by point shear wave elastography (pSWE) in predicting survival after TIPS.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study screened consecutive patients who underwent TIPS and reliable pSWE measurement between October 2014 and September 2017 from our prospectively maintained database. SS values were measured before TIPS. The primary endpoint was the overall survival after TIPS. The Cox regression analysis model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values.ResultsA total of 89 patients were involved in the final analysis. 24 patients (27.0%) died during a median follow-up time of 31 m. Multivariable Cox regression analysis confirmed that higher SS value (P < 0.001), LS value (P = 0.008), diameter of shunt (P = 0.001), and older age (P < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors of survival after TIPS. The risk of death rose 57.440-fold for each SS unit (m/s) increase. SS was also correlated with liver failure after TIPS. ROC analysis showed that the best SS cutoff value was 3.60 m/s for predicting survival, with a sensitivity of 54.2% and specificity of 90.8%.ConclusionsThe SS value determined by pSWE in cirrhotic patients was an independent predictive factor for survival after TIPS.
