Abstract:
Objective:To study the clinical outcomes of children with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction who underwent balloon venoplasties for anastomotic stenosis after Meso-Rex bypass.Methods:The data of 60 patients who underwent Meso-Rex bypass at Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center between October 2014 and November 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Four patients were shown by transhepatic portal venography to have graft stenosis in the left portal vein anastomosis. There were 2 males and 2 famales, the age of patients were 11 years, 5 years, 5 years and 8 years. Four patients underwent balloon dilation. The pressure, anastomotic diameter and blood flow velocity of the anterior portal vein were compared before and after balloon dilation. The patients were followed-up on the postoperative status.Results:Three of 4 patients who had anastomotic stenosis were successfully treated by balloon venoplasties. On postoperative follow-up for 6 months, the bridging vessels remained unobtrusive and there was no gastrointestinal bleeding. The pressures of the anterior hepatic portal vein before balloon dilation were 19, 15 and 25 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). They were 8, 11 and 20 mmHg after balloon dilation. The preoperative anastomotic diameters were 2.6, 3.0 and 3.0 cm. They were 6.0, 4.5 and 5.5 cm, respectively 6 months after surgery. The preoperative anastomotic blood flow velocities were 138, 107 and 94 cm/s. They were 96, 91 and 90 cm/s, respectively 6 months after surgery. The preoperative three-dimensional CT reconstruction of spleen volumes were 793.24, 192.25, and 318.05 cm 3, respectively. They were 681.84, 190.30, and 310.65 cm 3, respectively 6 months after surgery. In the remaining patient, balloon dilation failed because of the small diameter of the anastomotic stenosis segment. Conclusion:Balloon venoplasties is an optional procedure for patients with anastomotic stenosis after Meso-Rex bypass.
