Treatment of chronic ascites due to right-sided heart failure by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt stent-implantation after orthotopic heart transplant.

چکیده
Long-term outcome after orthotopic heart transplant is often critical in patients with long-persisting right-sided heart failure and consecutive ascites. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt is an effective treatment for chronic ascites. However, a case of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt implantation after orthotopic heart transplant and left ventricular assist device bridging has not been previously reported.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for a wait list patient is not a contraindication for orthotopic liver transplant outcomes.
OBJECTIVES A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for treating recurrent variceal bleeding or refractory ascites can be used as bridge therapy in patients awaiting a liver transplant. However, incorrect placement of the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt may complicate surgery during a liver transplant. This study sought to analyze a cohort of transplanted recipients to unde...
متن کاملSevere Hepatic Encephalopathy after Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS): Value of Shunt Reduction and Occlusion
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) after implantation of the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) is generally well treatable. Severe and refractory HE might be treated with shunt reduction or occlusion. We performed a retrospective study between January 2004 and January 2016. Out of 456 TIPS implantations, 17 patients (3,7%) were treated with shunt reduction and 6/17 patients with add...

BACKGROUND The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS) builds a shortcut between the portal vein and a liver vein, and represents a sophisticated alternative to open surgery in the management of portal hypertension or its complications. OBJECTIVES To describe clinical experiences with a low-profile nitinol stent system in TIPSS creation, and to assess primary and long-term...
متن کاملEndovascular caudal retraction of the cranial end of a misplaced Viatorr TIPS prior to liver transplantation.
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) extension far into the inferior vena cava (IVC) or the right atrium may complicate or preclude orthotopic liver transplantation depending on the space available for placement of a hemostatic clamp in the suprahepatic IVC. Until 2004, most TIPS were performed with bare metal stents, which integrate into the vessel wall, making percutaneous or ...
متن کاملIntractable ascites without mechanical vascular obstruction after orthotopic liver transplantation: etiology and clinical outcome of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome.
Intractable ascites after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a relatively rare complication. However, it often takes a life threatening course, which requires re-transplantation. In previous studies, several reports gave hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) as one of the causes of refractory ascites. However, the detailed etiology of SOS after OLT and its association with clinic...
