Abstract
Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation for the management of portal hy- pertension in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: A literature search of the MEDLINE/PubMed and Embase databases was conducted. All articles reporting the outcomes of TIPS creation for variceal bleeding and refractory ascites and hepatic hydrothorax in patients with HCC were included. Exclusion criteria were non-English language, sample size < 5, data not extractable, and data reported in another article. Results: A total of 280 patients (mean age, 48 – 58; male gender, 66%) from five articles were included. TIPS creation was performed for variceal bleeding in 79% and refractory ascites and/or hepatic hydrothorax in 26% of patients. Technical and clinical success was achieved in 99% and 64% of patients, respectively. Clinical failure occurred in 36% of patients due to rebleeding or recurrent bleeding (n = 77) or no resolution or improvement of refractory ascites and hepatic hydrothorax (n = 24). One percent of patient had major complications, including accelerated liver failure (n = 1) and multi-organ failure resulting from hemorrhagic shock (n = 1), all of which resulted in early (i.e., within 30 days) death. Hepatic encephalopathy occurred in 40% of patients after TIPS creation. Lung metastasis was found 1% of patient 5 months (n = 1) and 72 months (n = 1) after TIPS creation. Conclusion: TIPS creation seems to be safe and effective for the management of portal hypertension in patients with HCC.
期刊介绍:
IJGII (pISSN 2636-0004, eISSN 2636-0012) was published four times a year on the last day of January, April, July, and October, which has effected from January 1 in 2019. This Journal was first published biannually on June and December, beginning in December 2012 under the title ‘Gastrointestinal Intervention’ (former pISSN 2213-1795, eISSN 2213-1809) and was changed to be published three times a year from 2016. Commencing with the January 2019 issue, the Journal was renamed ‘International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention’. As the official journal of the Society of Gastrointestinal Intervention (SGI), International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention (IJGII) delivers original, peer-reviewed articles for gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, surgeons, gastrointestinal oncologists, nurses and technicians who need current and reliable information on the interventional treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatopancreaticobiliary diseases. Regular features also include ‘state-of-the-art’ review articles by leading authorities throughout the world. IJGII will become an international forum for the description and discussion of the various aspects of interventional radiology, endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery.
