Development of a new Cox model for predicting long-term survival in hepatitis cirrhosis patients underwent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts. World J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 16:491-502. [PMID: 38463355 PMCID: PMC10921221 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v16.i2.491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is a procedure that can effectively treat complications of portal hypertension, such as variceal bleeding and refractory ascites. However, there have been no specific studies on predicting long-term survival after TIPS placement. AIM To establish a model to predict long-term survival in patients with hepatitis cirrhosis after TIPS. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 224 patients who underwent TIPS implantation. Through univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, various factors were examined for their ability to predict survival at 6 years after TIPS. Consequently, a composite score was formulated, encompassing the indication, shunt reasonability, portal venous pressure gradient (PPG) after TIPS, percentage decrease in portal venous pressure (PVP), indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min (ICGR15) and total bilirubin (Tbil) level. Furthermore, the performance of the newly developed Cox (NDC) model was evaluated in an internal validation cohort and compared with that of a series of existing models. RESULTS The indication (variceal bleeding or ascites), shunt reasonability (reasonable or unreasonable), ICGR15, postoperative PPG, percentage of PVP decrease and Tbil were found to be independent factors affecting long-term survival after TIPS placement. The NDC model incorporated these parameters and successfully identified patients at high risk, exhibiting a notably elevated mortality rate following the TIPS procedure, as observed in both the training and validation cohorts. Additionally, in terms of predicting the long-term survival rate, the performance of the NDC model was significantly better than that of the other four models [Child-Pugh, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), MELD-sodium and the Freiburg index of post-TIPS survival]. CONCLUSION The NDC model can accurately predict long-term survival after the TIPS procedure in patients with hepatitis cirrhosis, help identify high-risk patients and guide follow-up management after TIPS implantation.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt vs conservative treatment for recurrent ascites: A propensity score matched comparison. World J Gastroenterol 2022; 28:5944-5956. [PMID: 36405105 PMCID: PMC9669826 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v28.i41.5944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is an effective intervention for recurrent tense ascites. Some studies show an increased risk of acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) associated with TIPS placement. It is not clear whether ACLF in this context is a consequence of TIPS or of the pre-existing liver disease.
AIM To better understand the risks of TIPS in this challenging setting and to compare them with those of conservative therapy.
METHODS Two hundred and fourteen patients undergoing their first TIPS placement for recurrent tense ascites at our tertiary-care center between 2007 and 2017 were identified (TIPS group). Three hundred and ninety-eight patients of the same time interval with liver cirrhosis and recurrent tense ascites not undergoing TIPS placement (No TIPS group) were analyzed as a control group. TIPS indication, diagnosis of recurrent ascites, further diagnoses and clinical findings were obtained from a database search and patient records. The in-hospital mortality and ACLF incidence of both groups were compared using 1:1 propensity score matching and multivariate logistic regressions.
RESULTS After propensity score matching, the TIPS and No TIPS groups were comparable in terms of laboratory values and ACLF incidence at hospital admission. There was no detectable difference in mortality (TIPS: 11/214, No TIPS 13/214). During the hospital stay, ACLF occurred more frequently in the TIPS group than in the No TIPS group (TIPS: 70/214, No TIPS: 57/214, P = 0.04). This effect was confined to patients with severely impaired liver function at hospital admission as indicated by a significant interaction term of Child score and TIPS placement in multivariate logistic regression. The TIPS group had a lower ACLF incidence at Child scores < 8 points and a higher ACLF incidence at ≥ 11 points. No significant difference was found between groups in patients with Child scores of 8 to 10 points.
CONCLUSION TIPS placement for recurrent tense ascites is associated with an increased rate of ACLF in patients with severely impaired liver function but does not result in higher in-hospital mortality.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement at index portal hypertensive decompensation (anticipant TIPS) in cirrhosis and the role of early intervention in variceal bleeding and ascites. Indian J Gastroenterol 2021; 40:361-372.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement improves survival in patients with refractory/recurrent acute variceal bleeding (RAVB) and refractory ascites/hydrothorax. Recently, early TIPS was shown to reduce rebleeding and improve survival compared to the conventional TIPS. We aimed to study outcomes in patients with cirrhosis undergoing TIPS at first significant portal hypertensive (PHT) decompensation (termed anticipant TIPS) compared to those undergoing TIPS for recurrent or persistent PHT complications (conventional) and compared the former to matched controls on standard medical management (SMT). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical, biochemical, and liver disease severity parameters and survival at baseline and post-intervention in cirrhosis patients at two major hepatobiliary intervention centers undergoing anticipant (n = 27) or conventional TIPS (n = 30) and compared the former group to matched historical controls on SMT (n = 35). RESULTS Baseline parameters were comparable between both the groups, including the Child-Pugh class and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores. Length of stay in the intensive care unit, post-procedure admission rates, and sepsis events were higher among patients undergoing conventional TIPS (p < 0.05). Post-TIPS, at 1 year, overall and sub-grouped survivals were better in patients undergoing anticipant TIPS. On further sub-group analysis, based on the PHT events and stratified based on Child-Pugh and MELD scores, a higher proportion of patients survived after anticipant TIPS at 1 year. Compared to SMT, patients undergoing anticipant TIPS had significantly lesser hospitalizations, recurrence of varices, and ascites at 1 year, reducing hospital visits and financial burden. CONCLUSIONS Anticipant TIPS at the first significant PHT event could improve liver-related events and survival compared to standard medical management and conventional TIPS, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of the present study was to identify the subset of a wide range of serial Doppler, laboratory, and clinical parameters most predictive (both individually and in combination) of TIPS dysfunction in a large patient sample. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The medical records of 189 patients who had undergone TIPS procedures were analyzed. The patients (mean age, 52 years; 62% of whom were men) had undergone 1139 Doppler studies and 323 portovenograms. Laboratory parameters included model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores, serum albumin levels, presence of ascites, and time since last intervention. Doppler parameters included intrashunt velocities, temporal change in intrashunt velocities, main portal vein velocity, direction of flow in the left portal hepatic vein, and venous pulsatility index. Statistical analysis used ROC, univariate, and multivariate regression models to assess the parameters both individually and in combination. Shunt dysfunction was defined by a portosystemic gradient of more than 12 mm Hg. RESULTS. The laboratory and clinical parameters of greatest predictive value included the MELD score and the time since the last intervention. The Doppler parameters that were of greatest predictive value included the change in velocity at the hepatic venous end and the left portal vein flow direction. Multivariate models produced an AUC of 0.74. Differences between functional and dysfunctional shunts were also statistically significant for absolute velocity at the hepatic venous end, the change in velocity within the stent, and the temporal change in the mid shunt velocity. CONCLUSION. The subset of serial parameters most predictive of TIPS dysfunction are the temporal change in the velocity at the hepatic venous end, the absolute velocity at the hepatic venous end, the direction of flow in the left portal venous branch, and changes in the MELD score.

Abstract
PURPOSE Maximally decreasing portal pressures with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is associated with improved ascites control but also increased encephalopathy incidence. Since splenic venous flow contributes to portal hypertension, we assessed if combining small-diameter TIPS with splenic artery embolization could improve ascites while minimizing encephalopathy. METHODS Fifty-five patients underwent TIPS creation for refractory ascites. Subjects underwent creation of 8 mm TIPS followed by proximal splenic artery embolization (group A, n=8), or of 8 mm (group B, n=6) or 10 mm TIPS (group C, n=41) without splenic embolization. Data were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS In group A, median portosystemic gradient decreased from 19 mmHg to 9 mmHg after TIPS, and 8 mmHg after subsequent splenic artery embolization. In groups B and C, gradient decreased from 15 mmHg to 8 mmHg and 16 mmHg to 6 mmHg. All patients except for one in group A and two in C had greater than 50% reduction in the number of paracenteses in 3 months. Any postprocedural encephalopathy incidence was 62%, 50%, 83% in groups A, B, and C, respectively. Overall, 20% of subjects with 10 mm TIPS required TIPS reduction/closure compared to 7% of subjects with 8 mm TIPS. CONCLUSION We found that 8 mm diameter TIPS provided similar ascites control compared to 10 mm TIPS regardless of splenic embolization. While more patients with 10 mm TIPS required reduction/closure for severe encephalopathy, the study was underpowered for definitive assessment. Splenic embolization might have the potential to further decrease portosystemic gradient and ascites as an alternative to dilation of TIPS to 10 mm minimizing the risk of encephalopathy, but larger studies are warranted.

Abstract
Background and Aims Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is used for decompressing clinically significant portal hypertension. The aims of this study were to evaluate clinical outcomes and adverse events associated with this procedure. Methods Retrospective single-center study including 78 patients submitted to TIPS placement between January 2015 and November 2018. Follow-up data were missing in 27 patients, and finally 51 patients were included in the study sample. Data collected from individual registries included demographics, comorbidities, laboratory results, complications, and clinical results according to the indication. Results Average pre-TIPS portosystemic pressure gradient decreased from 18.1 ± 5 to 6 ± 3 mm Hg after TIPS placement. Indications for TIPS were refractory ascites (63%, n = 49), recurrent or uncontrolled variceal bleeding (36%, n = 28), and Budd-Chiari syndrome (1.3%, n = 1). TIPS-related adverse events occurred in 29/51 (56.8%) patients, with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in 21 (41%) patients, sepsis in 3, liver failure in 2, hemolytic anemia in 1, acute pulmonary edema in 1, and capsular perforation in 1 patient. Mean follow-up was 15.7 ± 15 months. First-month mortality was 11.7% (n = 6) (sepsis, n = 3; acute liver failure, n = 2; and recurrence of variceal bleeding, n = 1) and was significantly higher for patients with Child-Pugh >9 points (p = 0.01), model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores >19 (p = 0.02), and for patients with a history of HE before the procedure (p = 0.001). Older age (p = 0.006) and higher levels of creatinine (p = 0.008) were significantly higher in patients developing HE after TIPS. Ascites persisted in 21.2% (7/33 patients) and was more frequent in patients with lower baseline albumin levels (p = 0.003). Recurrent variceal bleeding occurred in 22% (n = 4/18 patients) and was more frequent in patients with lower baseline hemoglobin levels (p = 0.03). Conclusion TIPS is effective in up to 80% of patients presenting with variceal bleeding or refractory ascites. Careful patient selection based on age and HE history may reduce adverse events after TIPS.

Abstract
Refractory ascites (RA) refers to ascites that cannot be mobilized or that has an early recurrence that cannot be prevented by medical therapy. Every year, 5-10% of patients with liver cirrhosis and with an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity develop RA while undergoing standard treatment (low sodium diet and diuretic dose up to 400 mg/day of spironolactone and 160 mg/day of furosemide). Liver cirrhosis accounts for marked alterations in the splanchnic and systemic hemodynamics, causing hypovolemia and arterial hypotension. The consequent activation of renin-angiotensin and sympathetic systems and increased renal sodium re-absorption occurs during the course of the disease. Cirrhotic patients with RA have poor prognoses and are at risk of developing serious complications. Different treatment options are available, but only liver transplantation may improve the survival of such patients.
