Aims
To compare retrospectively the clinical outcomes in patients treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) using the novel polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stents (Fluency) and bare stents.Materials and methods
Sixty consecutive patients with portal hypertension treated with TIPS from April 2007 to April 2009 were included. TIPS creation was performed with Fluency stent grafts in 30 patients (group A) and with bare stents in 30 patients (group B). Liver function, TIPS patency and clinical outcomes were evaluated every 3 months after procedures.Results
During hospitalization, there were no cases of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and recurrence of variceal bleedings. Acute shunt occlusion was found in one patient in each group. Follow-ups were performed in group A with average time of 6.16 ± 3.89 months and in group B with 8.34 ± 4.42 months. The rates of recurrent bleeding, shunt occlusion, HE and mortality were 0.03, 0.0, 16.7 and 0% in group A, and 20.0, 30.0, 20.0 and 13.3% in group B, respectively. There was no difference of HE between group A and group B. The decrease of portal pressure and portosystemic pressure gradient, and the increase of portal flow were 34.1 and 23.3%, 60.0 and 52.8%, and 189.5 and 111.1% in group A and B, respectively. There were no differences of liver function between group A and B.Conclusion
The Fluency stent graft is relatively safe and effective in TIPS creation, with a high patency rate compared with bare stents. 相似文献12.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) have been shown to be an efficient portal-systemic derivative treatment for Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) patients uncontrolled by medical therapy. However, the main drawback of TIPS for this condition is a very high rate of shunt dysfunction. Recently, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stents have been shown to reduce the incidence of TIPS dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of TIPS dysfunction in 2 cohorts of BCS patients treated with bare or PTFE-covered stents. The study included 25 TIPS procedures (16 bare stents and 9 covered stents) with a median follow-up period of 20.4 months (range, 3.9-124.8). Fourteen of 16 patients (87%) receiving bare stents had TIPS dysfunction compared to 3 of the 9 patients (33%) receiving PTFE-covered stents (P = .005). The actuarial rates of primary patency in the bare-stent group were 19% at 1 year compared with 67% in the PTFE-covered stent group (P = .02; log-rank test). The number of additional interventional procedures to maintain TIPS patency was significantly greater in the bare-stent than in the PTFE-covered stent group (1.9 +/- 1.2 vs. 0.6 +/- 0.9; P = .007). The number of patients with clinical relapses was greater in the bare-stent group compared to the PTFE-covered stent group (13 vs. 5 episodes in 9 and 3 patients, respectively). In conclusion, PTFE-covered stents have a considerable advantage over bare stents for the TIPS treatment of BCS patients, with a lower dysfunction rate, a lower number of reinterventions, and fewer prosthesis requirements. PTFE-covered stents are preferable in patients with Budd-Chiari Syndrome. 相似文献

Polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent grafts for TIPS procedure: 1-year patency and clinical results
Angeloni S Merli M Salvatori FM De Santis A Fanelli F Pepino D Attili AF Rossi P Riggio O 《The American journal of gastroenterology》2004,99(2):280-285
OBJECTIVES: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stent grafts appear to have the potential to improve TIPS patency, but data available are few and controversial. The aim of this prospective nonrandomized trial was to assess TIPS safety and 1-yr patency with a new commercially available PTFE-covered stent graft in comparison with a group of historical controls treated with conventional stents. METHODS: Between July 1992 and December 1999, 87 consecutive cirrhotics underwent TIPS with conventional stents, while from January 2000 to November 2001, 32 consecutive cirrhotics were treated with PTFE-covered stent grafts. All patients were followed by the same medical team according to a prospective protocol for a diagnostic work-up and a surveillance strategy. RESULTS: The two groups were comparable for age, sex, etiology, and severity of cirrhosis. The 1-yr probability of remaining free of shunt dysfunction tended to be higher in the covered stent group: 76.3% (95% CI = 58.7-93.9%) versus 57.5% (95% CI = 46.6-68.4%); log rank test: p = 0.055. However, stenoses inside the stent were significantly higher in patients with bare stents (88% vs 17%), while stenoses at the hepatic or portal vein were more frequent in PTFE-covered stent-graft group (50% vs 9% and 33% vs 3%, respectively), (chi2 = 15.42; df = 2.0; p = 0.0004). Stenoses inside the covered portion of the stent did not occur. One-year cumulative rebleeding, encephalopathy, and survival were similar. CONCLUSIONS: PTFE-covered stents are able to solve pseudointimal hyperplasia within the stent tract, but have a high incidence of hepatic or portal vein stenosis. Improvements in stent design and insertion techniques are necessary to fully achieve the potential benefit of this new device. 相似文献

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for the treatment of refractory ascites 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Background: The Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) corrects portal hypertension and has proven to be effective in controlling variceal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis. Several reports have now appeared suggesting a possible role in patients with refractory ascites.
Aims: To examine the outcome of TIPS for the treatment of refractory ascites in patients with cirrhosis.
Methods: Fifteen patients underwent TIPS for ascites between April 1992 and December 1996. The clinical findings, response to treatment, complications, shunt patency and survival of these patients were analysed.
Results: TIPS was successfully placed in all patients. The mean period of follow-up was 375 days (range: 14–1165 days). In eight patients (53%) there was a reduction in the degree of ascites after shunt insertion, with six patients (40%) having complete resolution. Age, Child-Pugh class or portal pressure gradient, before or after the procedure, were not predictive of response. Of five patients with renal insufficiency (serum creatinine >130 umol/L), only one had improvement in ascites control. Six patients (40%) required shunt revision during follow-up, either for acute thrombotic occlusion (two) or stent stenosis (four). New or worsening encephalopathy developed in ten patients (67%). Two patients (13%) died of liver failure within 30 days. Cumulative survival was 46% at one year and 18% at two years. Treatment response was associated with increased survival (ρ=0.02), with median survival of 658 days as compared with 71 days for treatment failure.
Conclusions: TIPS can be effective in the treatment of refractory ascites in patients with cirrhosis. Our experience suggests the benefit may be less for patients with advanced liver disease and renal impairment. Controlled trials are needed to compare TIPS with other treatment modalities such as large volume paracentesis or peritoneovenous shunting. 相似文献

Expandable metal biliary stenting in patients with recurrent premature polyethylene stent occlusion 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
OBJECTIVES: Expandable metal stents are currently used to treat biliary tract obstruction. Few data exist on the role of metal stents in patients with recurrent premature plastic biliary stent occlusion. We report our preliminary results using an expandable metal biliary stent with enhanced stent flexibility in this group of patients. Our aim was to assess the efficacy of the Diamond biliary stent in the treatment of recurrent premature biliary plastic stent blockage. METHODS: From September 1997 to June 1998, six patients with inoperable biliary obstruction and at least one prior episode of plastic stent occlusion were treated with an expandable metal biliary prosthesis. There were four women and six men, with a mean age of 73+/-11 yr. Five patients had malignant biliary obstruction, and one inoperable patient had a biliary stricture secondary to chronic pancreatitis. Patients were followed-up prospectively until either stent occlusion or death. The patency duration of the metal stents was compared to that of the most recently placed plastic stents. RESULTS: All stents were successfully inserted endoscopically with visualized biliary drainage. No significant immediate postprocedural complications were noted. Median time from initial diagnosis of biliary obstruction to metal stent insertion was 35 wk (range 7-142), during which time patients had occluded a median of 4.5 plastic stents (range 2-5). Median patient survival was 117 days (15-312) and median time to blockage of the last plastic stent was 25.5 days (range 10-90 days). Three cases of metal stent occlusion occurred. One patient had early stent occlusion at 9 days because of debris and sludge clogging the metal stent. Two other patients developed stent occlusion at 120 and 157 days. Two stents remained patent until the patients' deaths at 15 and 87 days. Overall median stent patency was 139 days. The three patients who developed stent occlusion were treated with successful insertion of one or more plastic stents through the existing metal stent. Duration of metal stent patency was significantly longer than that of the last plastic stent (58.8 days longer; 95% CI [6.4, 111]; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Metal biliary prostheses represent an effective management strategy for recurrent plastic biliary stent obstruction. Patients in this subgroup may have a shorter duration of metal stent patency than the reported duration of stent patency in patients receiving initial metal stent placement. However the duration of patency still seems to be significantly longer than that of the most recently placed plastic stent. 相似文献

Nowadays,transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)has become a mainstay treatment option for the management of portal hypertension-related complications in liver cirrhosis.Accumulated evidence has shown that its indications are being gradually expanded.Notwithstanding,less attention has been paid for the selection of an appropriate stent during a TIPS procedure.Herein,we attempt to review the current evidence regarding the diameter,type,brand,and position of TIPS stents.Several following recommendations may be considered in the clinical practice:(1)a 10-mm stent may be more effective than an 8-mm stent for the management of portal hypertension,and may be superior to a 12-mm stent for the improvement of survival and shunt patency;(2)covered stents are superior to bare stents for reducing the development of shunt dysfunction;(3)if available,Viatorr stent-grafts may be recommended due to a higher rate of shunt patency;and(4)the placement of a TIPS stent in the left portal vein branch may be more reasonable for decreasingthe development of hepatic encephalopathy.However,given relatively low quality of evidence,prospective well-designed studies should be warranted to further confirm these recommendations. 相似文献

In patients with liver cirrhosis, implantation of a transjugular intrahepatic shunt (TIPS) leads to reduction of portal pressure, but not of mortality compared with other therapies. The high stenosis rates of conventional bare stents causes high reintervention rates and costs and may be correlated with poor survival. ePTFE-covered stentgrafts provide much improved patency rates, but their impact on survival is unclear. All suitable patients receiving either bare TIPS (419/466) or undergoing implantation of ePTFE endoprostheses (89/100) in several centers in Austria up to 2002 were included in this retrospective analysis. Both patient groups were compared regarding survival with Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis. Unmatched and 1:1-matched survival analyses were performed. Patients undergoing ePTFE stentgraft implantation had significantly higher survival rates in all analyses. The 3-month, 1-year, and 2-year survival rates were 93%, 88%, and 76% for the ePTFE-group and 83%, 73%, and 62% for conventional TIPS patients, respectively. The matched survival analyses validated these findings. The model of the stent, patient age, and Child-Pugh Class (CPC) were independent predictors of survival. In conclusion, patients undergoing ePTFE-endoprosthesis implantation had higher survival rates within 2 years after TIPS-implantation. This may be the result of improved patency rates after correct placement (up to the inferior caval vein [ICV]) of the ePTFE stentgraft. These data should be validated in a prospective series. 相似文献
