We report the first case of portal vein (PV) stenting completely eradicating bleeding BDVs. A 70-year-old male with malignant lymphoma developed BDVs due to PV obstruction, which had caused compression and stricture of the distal bile duct. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography was performed to evaluate the stricture and bleeding from the ruptured BDV was observed. Endoscopic hemostasis was difficult, requiring reopening of the extra-hepatic PV and reducing the blood flow to the BDVs for hemostasis. Therefore, PV stenting was performed. During the procedure, portal angiography confirmed an inflow tract to the BDVs. Therefore, covered stents were placed in the PV and adjusted to block the inflow tract to the BDVs at the distal end. After stenting, the BDVs were successfully blocked and all PV blood flowed through the stent placed in the extra-hepatic PV. Two weeks after stenting, the BDVs had disappeared completely and the bleeding has not recurred for months. We experienced a case in which PV stenting not only reopened an obstructed PV but also successfully occluded the inflow tract.

This combination is approved for the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). An abscopal effect is associated with an immune response triggered by radiation-induced immunogenic cell death, based on experimental models. Thus, combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy is expected to induce an abscopal effect. However, the clinical significance of immunotherapy in the abscopal effect remains unknown due to the rarity of clinical cases. Herein, we report a case of advanced HCC with lung and adrenal metastases. The antitumor efficacy of atezolizumab and bevacizumab (atezo/bev) was enhanced following stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), although atezo/bev did not yield a sufficient therapeutic response pre-SBRT. Furthermore, an abscopal effect following SBRT was not observed during atezolizumab alone but was evoked after resuming bevacizumab in combination with atezolizumab, culminating in the patient achieving a complete response status. These findings suggest that immune activation following radiotherapy may be related to the induction of an abscopal effect in clinical practice as well as in experimental settings, and combining immunotherapy with bevacizumab post-radiotherapy could evoke an abscopal effect in a case of HCC, even though immune checkpoint inhibitor use alone may be insufficient.</p>","PeriodicalId":10364,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Journal of Gastroenterology","volume":" ","pages":"1053-1057"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141975247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
