Summary |
Background |
The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) on liver transplantation (LT).
Methods |
Seventy-two patients transplanted after TIPS insertion between 1996 and 2008 were compared with 136 matched patients transplanted without prior TIPS.
Results |
At time of LT, 10% of the TIPS were occluded and 32% were misplaced. Shunt removal was difficult in 17% of the TIPS patients and required vena cava clamping in 10%. Collateral venous circulation was less extensive and intra-operative portocaval anastomosis was required more frequently in the TIPS group. No significant difference in transfusion requirements and operative times were observed between the two groups. Postoperatively, liver and renal function tests, in-hospital stay, graft rejection, re-transplantation and 1-year mortality rates were not statistically different. Ascites volume in the first week was greater in the TIPS group (7.6 L vs 6.9 L, P=0.036). In the TIPS group, ascites and collateral circulation were greater if the shunt was occluded at the time of LT. Shunt misplacement or occlusion was not associated with higher intra-operative or postoperative complication rates.
Conclusion |
TIPS did not impair LT and can provide a safe bridge for LT in the end-stage cirrhotic patients.
