TIPS for patients with early HCC: A bridge to liver transplantation - 01/10/22
, Manon Allaire a, ⁎ Abstract |
Portal hypertension (PHT) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are complications of cirrhosis which often coexist, rending the management more complex. HCC is generally considered as a contraindication for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). We studied the outcome of 8 patients treated by TIPS after HCC diagnosis between 2010 and 2020. TIPS wasn't associated with worsening of liver function or tumor spreading and all patients underwent liver transplantation. TIPS should be considered in case of HCC, especially for variceal bleeding or as a bridge to HCC treatments that are discarded due to PHT levels/ascites by improving liver function before liver transplantation.
