Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the changes of liver volume and liver function in patients with extensive hepatic vein occluded Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystem shunt (TIPS).Methods:The clinical data of 29 BCS patients from Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University during March 2016 to June 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The BCS was caused by extensive hepatic vein occlusion and patients were treated with TIPS. Pre- and postoperative abdominal CT/MRI images were collected and analyzed, and hepatic volume was measured with 3D-reconstruction. The liver volume and liver function during before and post the surgery were also collected and analyzed with preoperative value.Results:Patients including 8 males and 21 females, aged (33.3±6.3) years, were enrolled in this study. TIPS was successfully performed in all patients, with a technical success rate 100%. No serious complications related to TIPS occurred. Patients were followed up for 12-33 months (median, 16 months). Compared with preoperative [(2 124.6±420.9) cm 3] , the hepatic volume of time points after operation [1 week: (1 926.3±372.3) cm 3; 3 months: (1 480.6±183.1) cm 3; 6 months: (1 461.9±153.0) cm 3; 12 months: (1 469.3±148.5) cm 3] were all significantly reduced, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with preoperative values, the hepatic function indexes at each time point after operation were significantly improved ( P<0.05). The complete remission rate of ascites was 96.4% (27/28), 100.0% (28/28) and 100.0% (28/28) at 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. Conclusion:The extensive hepatic vein occlusive BCS patients were benefit from TIPS therapy. Six months after operation, the hepatic volume and the hepatic function returned to normal level.
