AU - Buchwald, H.. PY - 1977. Y1 - 1977. N2 - This investigation was done to measure the effects of selective visceral caval shunting on plasma lipids and cholesterol dynamics. Study groups consisted of 9 dogs with a mesocaval shunt, 10 with a splenic pancreatoduodenal shunt, 5 animals in each of the above groups with completed portacaval shunt, and 5 controls. Cholesterol specific activity curves were plotted after intravenous 14C cholesterol and from these radioisotope disappearance curves the half lives of the rapidly and slowly miscible cholesterol pools were measured, and the rapidly and slowly miscible cholesterol pool sizes and the cholesterol production rates were calculated. Sequential plasma cholesterol levels (x ± 1 SD) for the mesocaval shunt group were 146 mg% ± 20 at baseline, 150 mg% ± 20 ...

RESULTS: The etiology of BCS was identified in 38 cases. Ph- MPN was found as the most common risk factor (50%, N.=22), especially polycythemia vera. JAK2V617F mutation was detected in the most of 22 MPN cases (82.5%). The second most common etiologic factor was inherited thrombophilia (18%, N.=8). In the non-covered (bare) stent group, a primary patency rates 52.9% in 1 year and 20% in 5 years after TIPS (Portasystemic Shunt, Transjugular Intrahepatic) creation. In the covered stent group the 1-year and 5-year primary patency rates were was 80% and 33.3% respectively. The average 5-year re-intervention rate per patient was 1.65 procedures in the bare stent group and 0.67 in the covered stent group. Re-interventions were more frequent in MPN patients. All patients were anticoagulated with heparin at the beginning, switched to vitamin K antagonist. On top of TIPS, anticoagulant and a vigorous therapy of underlying disorder are necessary ...

Introduction. Portosystemic shunts (PSS) are vascular anomalies that divert blood from the abdominal viscera to the heart, bypassing the hepatic sinusoids and carrying intestinal absorption products directly to the systemic circulation. Portosystemic shunts can occur as congenital anomalies, or may develop secondary to liver disease and portal hypertension. While clinical signs from multiple acquired shunts must be managed medically, congenital PSS have been successfully treated with surgery in many dogs and cats. Anatomy. Congenital PSS usually occur as single large vessels, while acquired shunts are numerous and often small in size. Common types of single congenital portovascular anomalies include intrahepatic portocaval shunts, such as patent ductus venosus, and extrahepatic portocaval or portal-azygos shunts. Shunts may connect the portal vein with the caudal vena cava directly, or may originate from a portal tributary, such as the left gastric vein, and terminate on a caval tributary, such ...

Plasma glucagon, insulin and glucose concentrations, and liver function tests were determined after an overnight fast in 24 normal subjects and 50 male cirrhotic patients. In cirrhotic patients with normal liver profiles, plasma glucagon remained within normal limits, irrespective of the presence of portasystemic anastomoses either pathological or surgical. Hyperglucagonemia was documented in presence of advanced liver dysfunction alone. Significant correlations were established between plasma glucagon and several liver function tests, i.e., serum bilirubin, albumin/globulin ratio, and prothrombin time. Moreover, hyperglucagonemia normalized on recovery from clinical manifestations and improvement in liver profile. Plasma insulin was raised primarily in the presence of a significant portasystemic shunting and maximum levels were observed in patients manifesting advanced liver dysfunction as well. However, no correlation was evident between plasma insulin and any of the liver function tests. Fasting

The insertion of a transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic stent shunt (TIPSS) was evaluated in 22 patients with recurrent upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage related to portal hypertension (bleeding from oesophageal varices 10, gastric varices six, portal hypertensive gastropathy six). TIPSS was successfully performed electively in 15 patients and as an emergency in three patients. Twelve patients have had no further admissions with bleeding after TIPSS. Single episodes of bleeding were noted in six patients after TIPSS associated with shunt thrombosis (two), intimal hyperplasia within the shunt (two), and shunt migration (one). Another patient presented with reaccumulated ascites suggesting poor shunt function but died from massive variceal haemorrhage before further assessment could be performed. There was one death related to the procedure. Two patients developed encephalopathy after TIPSS, in one patient this was controlled by the insertion of a smaller diameter stent within the existing ...

These results suggest that the transjugular placement of an intrahepatic portosystemic stent is an effective and safe treatment for variceal hemorrhage in patients with portal hypertension due to cirrhosis.

TIPS dysfunction is defined as a loss of decompression of the portal venous system due to occlusion or stenosis of the TIPS. Although there is no consistency between investigators as to the exact criteria that should be used to define TIPS dysfunction in reference to degree of stenosis, a value of 50% is frequently used. In addition, a rise in the HVPG to greater than 12 mm Hg or a recurrence of the complication of portal hypertension for which the TIPS was performed indicates TIPS dysfunction.33 Occlusion of the TIPS can either be due to thrombosis or hyperplasia of the intima. Thrombosis of the TIPS usually occurs early and can happen within 24 hours of TIPS creation. The frequency of this complication is on the order of 10% to 15%.34, 35 The cause of the thrombosis may be leakage of bile into the shunt, hypercoagulable syndromes, or inadequate coverage of the TIPS tract with sufficient stents.36, 37 Thrombosis of the TIPS is identified using Doppler ultrasound, and patency is re-established ...

RESULTS: In 135 variably related Maltese, shunt status could be confirmed in 113, including 19 with anextra-hepatic portosystemic shunt (17 confirmed at surgery, 2 at necropsy). Rectal ammonia tolerance testing results and post-prandial serum bile acid concentrations were retrievable for 50 and 88 dogs, respectively. Pedigree information was available for these 135 and an additional 164 related dogs. Two consecutive test matings were carried out between two affected animals (whose shunts had been attenuated), with 2 of 8 (25%) of offspring having an extra-hepatic portosystemic shunt. Six test matings were carried out between an affected and an unaffected animal, with 2 of 22 (9%) offspring affected. Heritability of extra-hepatic portosystemic shunt was 0·61 calculated using variance components analysis [95% confidence interval (CI) 0·14 to 1·0, P=0·001]. The best fitting model from segregation analysis was a common, partially penetrant, recessive model (allele frequency 0·34, penetrance ...

We report the case of a 37-year-old man with necrotizing pancreatitis associated with inflammatory extrahepatic portal vein stenosis and progressive ascites. Four months after the acute onset, when no signs of infection were present, portal decompression was performed to treat refractory ascites. Transjugulartranshepatic venoplasty failed to dilate the stenosis in the extrahepatic portion of the portal vein sufficiently. Therefore a Wallstent was implanted, resulting in almost normal diameter of the vessel. In follow-up imaging studies the stent and the portal vein were still patent 12 months after the intervention and total resolution of the ascites was observed. ...

The results of ultrasound imaging combined with Doppler studies of blood flow are presented in two patients with surgical portacaval shunts performed for portal hypertension. Duplex scanning proved a quick and noninvasive method of confirming the patency of the anastomoses. The demonstration of appropriate Doppler flow signals across the shunt is the most convincing ultrasound evidence of patency. Portacaval shunts are more amenable to study by ultrasound than more peripheral shunts because the liver can be used as an acoustic window.

A device and method for achieving hemostasis and leakage control in vascular structures and other body ducts or vessels in an emergency room or trauma situation. The device has at least one shunt that contains an obturator on an end of the shunt. The shunt is inserted into a damaged vessel or lumen for sealing the leak or hemorrhage. Two shunts that both contain obturators on one of their ends can be inserted into two different vessels or lumens when the vessel or lumen has been severed. The obturators allow for the improved ease of insertion into the vessel or lumen. The two shunts are then releasably attached to restore fluid communication through the vessel or lumen. The shunt is placed temporarily within the patient and then removed when definitive repair can be achieved by a qualified physician.

Portal biliopathy is an uncommon cause of obstructive jaundice. The proposed therapies include endoscopic dilatation and stenting of the common bile duct or a portocaval shunt with splenectomy and sometimes hepatico-jejunostomy. We recently treated a white man with obstructive jaundice who had growth-hindering diarrhea in childhood. He experienced abdominal pain at the age of 33 years, and ultrasonography and computed tomography examinations revealed mesentericoportal thrombosis and splenomegaly. One year later, endoscopy showed esophageal varices; a liver biopsy showed normal histology. Obstructive jaundice first occurred when he was 40 years old; the patient was admitted to another hospital, and endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography showed concentric stenosis of the common bile duct, with no evidence of stones. The jaundice recovered spontaneously, but biochemical signs of cholestasis persisted. At 46 years of age, the patients blood bilirubin levels increased to 29 mg/dL. Nuclear ...

At Northwestern, we have pioneered a new, non-surgical approach for the treatment of portal vein thrombosis with or without cavernomatous transformation. It involves creating a new channel in the clotted portal vein, and placing a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stent. We do this using ultrasound and X-ray guidance. Our first series of 61 patients has already been published with excellent success, and many of these patients have gone on to liver transplantation since they had cirrhosis of the liver. We are now performing this on adults without cirrhosis with cavernoma. Some of these patients have varices that have bled. This is a procedure you should be evaluated for if you are considering a Rex shunt, since this is a non-surgical alternative.. Contact Information. Riad Salem MD MBA ...

A cat with a chronic diaphragmatic rupture presented with neurological signs, including twitching and focal seizures. Blood ammonia level was markedly elevated and therefore neurological signs were thought to be related to hepatic encephalopathy. Exploratory laparotomy revealed that the left lateral and medial liver lobes were herniated into the thorax and multiple acquired portosystemic shunts (MAPSS) were present. The hernia was reduced and the diaphragm repaired. Neurological signs gradually resolved following surgery and 1 year postoperatively the cat was clinically normal, was not on any medication and had no evidence of hepatic dysfunction.. ...

DISCUSSION One of the most commonly used methods for treatment of portosystemic shunts is cellophane banding6. This technique stimulates perivascular fibrosis and leads to gradual vascular occlusion11,20.The other commonly used method is the use of an ameroid ring constrictor16. In this technique, gradual attenuation occurs as casein slowly absorbs body fluid21. Despite the benefits associated with the use of an ameroid ring constrictor compared with cellophane banding, acute kinking of the shunt vessel after ameroid ring constrictor placement could account for increased morbidity and mortality rates in a manner similar to acute suture ligation of the shunt vessel, especially in smaller patients14. In view of the complications such as portal hypertension and perioperative seizures associated with attenuation of portosystemic shunts, the best surgical treatment should produce gradual and complete shunt attenuation, which would allow more time for the cardiovascular and nervous systems to adapt to ...

Study Group -We screened a population of 581 consecutive patients with cirrhosis who were scheduled to undergo upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Exclusion criteria included inability to provide consent, patients who had previously undergone liver transplantation, previous portosystemic shunt procedure, or had a recent history (, 7 days) of upper gastrointestinal bleeding . In addition, patients with renal insufficiency defined as a serum creatinine of , 1.7 mg/dL in non-diabetics or ,1.5 mg/dL in diabetics were excluded given concerns regarding the requirement of intravenous contrast during CT. Approximately 300 patients met inclusion criteria for screening for esophageal varices. Patients who had endoscopic variceal therapy (n=19) were also screened and 10 patients were included in the study to determine the role of CT imaging in determining the presence of varices in this group of patients. The last endoscopic therapy session in this group was greater than four weeks prior to the CT scan in ...

SUMMARY. Ninety-three patients with cirrhosis and esophageal varices participated in a controlled prospective investigation of the prophylactic portacaval shunt procedure for the prevention of bleeding varices. Surgery sharply reduced the risk of esophageal bleeding but failed to improve longevity. Shunted patients have a greater prevalence of hepatocellular failure and are significantly more likely to develop hepatic encephalopathy. Abstinence from alcohol had a beneficial effect in preventing bleeding varices and ascites in unshunted patients but did not significantly improve mortality; continued drinking among surgical patients did not alter any of these variables. Attempts to estimate survival or to delineate clinical factors at selection leading to variceal hemorrhage were unsuccessful..

Embolization of Large Spontaneous Portosystemic Shunts for Refractory Hepatic Encephalopathy: A Multicenter Survey on Safety and Efficacy Wim Laleman, 1 Macarena Simon-Talero, 2 Geert Maleux, 3 Mercedes

Background & Aims: Spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS) frequently develop in liver cirrhosis. Recent data suggested that the presence of a single large SPSS is associated with complications, especially overt hepatic encephalopathy (oHE). However, the presence of ,1 SPSS is common. This study evaluates the impact of total cross-sectional SPSS area (TSA) on outcomes in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods: In this retrospective international multicentric study, CT scans of 908 cirrhotic patients with SPSS were evaluated for TSA. Clinical and laboratory data were recorded. Each detected SPSS radius was measured and TSA calculated. One-year survival was the primary endpoint and acute decompensation (oHE, variceal bleeding, ascites) was the secondary endpoint. Results: A total of 301 patients (169 male) were included in the training cohort. Thirty percent of all patients presented with ,1 SPSS. A TSA cut-off of 83 mm2 was used to classify patients with small or large TSA (S-/L-TSA). Patients ...
