Abstract: | PurposeTo assess the short-term rebleeding rate associated with the use of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) compared with balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) for management of gastric varices (GV).Materials and MethodsA single-center retrospective comparison of 50 patients with bleeding from GV treated with a TIPS or BRTO was performed. Of 50 patients, 27 (17 men and 10 women; median age, 55 y; range, 31–79 y) received a TIPS with covered stents, and 23 (12 men and 11 women; median age, 52 y; range, 23–83 y) underwent a BRTO procedure with a foam sclerosant. All study subjects had clinical and endoscopic evidence of isolated bleeding GV and were hemodynamically stable at the time of the procedure. Clinical and endoscopic follow-up was performed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate rebleeding rates from the GV.ResultsThe technical success rate was 100% in the TIPS group and 91% in the BRTO group (P = .21). Major complications occurred in 4% of the patients receiving TIPS and 9% of patients the undergoing BRTO (P = .344). Encephalopathy was reported in 4 of 27 (15%) patients in the TIPS group and in none of the patients in the BRTO group (0%; P = .12). At 12 months, the incidence of rebleeding from a GV source was 11% in the TIPS group and 0% in the BRTO group (P = .25).ConclusionsBRTO appears to be equivalent to TIPS in the short-term for management of bleeding GV. Further comparative studies are warranted to determine optimal management strategies in individual patients. |
