Objective:To study the treatment outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portal shunt (TIPS) on refractory hepatic sinus obstruction syndrome (HSOS) caused by Gynura segetum.Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients with refractory HSOS caused by Gynura segetum treated at the Department of Vascular Surgery, Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2017 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 7 males and 8 females, with ages ranging from 30 to 85 years, mean ± s. d. (61.2±14.1) years. Albumin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, glutamyl transferase, and portal vein pressure were compared before and after TIPS. The liver function and renal function of these patients were followed up.Results:When compared with pre-operation, the albumin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and other indexes were significantly improved after TIPS (all P<0.05). The portal vein pressure of 15 patients significantly decreased from the preoperative volume of (41.7±3.5) cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa) to (28.3±4.4) cmH 2O ( t=10.41, P<0.001). The preoperative liver function was Child-Pugh grade A in 1 patient, grade B in 8 patients, grade C in 6 patients. The postoperative Child-Pugh grading was grade A in 14 patients and grade B in 1 patient. Ascites, gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, abdominal distention and spontaneous peritonitis all disappeared in these 15 patients. Postoperative hepatic encephalopathy developed in 2 patients and hepatic myelopathy in 1 patient. Conclusion:TIPS for treatment of HSOS caused by Gynura segetum resulted in a rapid recovery of liver function, rapid symptomatic relief, with a low incidence of hepatic encephalopathy/hepatic myelopathy.

Objective:To explore the feasibility, safety and effectivity of applying transmesenteric vein extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TEPS) to treat extrahepatic portal vein obstructive disease (EHPVOD).Methods:From December 2020 to April 2021, 12 patients with EHPVOD in the Vascular Surgery Department of Zhengzhou University People′s Hospital were prospectively enrolled in the study. The infra-umbilical median longitudinal minilaparotomy was performed to expose the branch of superior mesenteric vein (SMV). RUPS-100 was introduced into the trunk of SMV. A balloon with a diameter of 20 mm was introduced through right internal jugular vein (RIJV) into inferior vena cava (IVC). Under fluoroscopy, RUPS-100 was used to puncture the balloon in IVC. A stiff guide wire was used to establish the pathway between RIJV and SMV. Finally the portosystemic shunt between IVC and SMV was established with a covered stent-graft. The total operative time, the time of establishing portosystemic shunt alone, the dosage of contrast agent, the preoperative and postoperative pressure of SMV were recorded. Paired t test was used to compare the preoperative and postoperative pressure of SMV. Results:All 12 patients were successfully performed TEPS. The total operative time was (113±32) min, the time of establishing portosystemic shunt alone was (31±5) min, the dosage of contrast agent was (129±48) ml. The postoperative pressure of SMV [(14.3±2.1) mmHg] decreased significantly ( t=20.125, P<0.01) compared to baseline [(27.8±2.7) mmHg]. All portal hypertension symptoms released after the operations.There was 1 case of delayed incision healing, 1 case of bacteremia and 1 case of slight hepatic encephalopathy, but all of them were cured. There was no death case. Postoperative CT showed all portosystemic shunts were patent. Conclusion:TEPS is a new, safe, effective and feasible treatment method for patients of acute and chronic EHPVOD.

Objective This retrospective study is to analyze and summarize the clinical features and therapeutic experience of the isolated abdominal aortic dissection(IAAD). Methods Totally 17 patients of IAAD, who were admitted to our hospital from January 2009 to January 2016, were included in this retrospective analysis. Five patients with obvious pain or abdominal aorta diameter of 30 mm accompanied with sub-renal anchorage area of 15 mm, underwent endovascular repair. In these 5 patients, 4 cases were subjected to bifurcated stent graft endovascular repair and 1 case received the aorta uni-iliac endovascular repair combined with femoral-femoral artery bypass treatment. Moreover, 2 patients with sub-renal anchorage area of less than 15 mm were subjected to surgical treatment. In these 2 patients, 1 case with obvious pain and abdominal aorta diameter of 30 mm underwent the abdominal aorta-right iliac artery bypass combined with femoral-femoral artery bypass, while the other case with abdominal aorta diameter of 30 mm but no pain received the abdominal aorta-bilateral iliac artery bypass. Furthermore, 8 patients with no obvious pain and abdominal aorta diameter of less than 30 mm received conservative medical treatment. In addition, there were 2 patients with obvious pain and abdominal aorta diameter of 30 mm suffering from sudden death during the surgical preparation. Important complications of these patients during hospitalization and follow-up period were recorded, analyzed, and compared. Results For the 5 patients undergoing endovascular repair, the averaged hospitalization duration was(15.4 ± 2.9)d, one of whom died during hospitalization. There were 3 cases with follow-up period of ≥ 12 months, and 1 case reported left iliac branch occlusion. For the 2 patients subjected to surgical treatment, the follow-up period was less than 12 months, and no serious complications occurred during hospitalization or follow-up period. For the 8 patients receiving conservative medical treatment, the averaged hospitalization duration was(11.1±5.2)d. There were 4 cases with follow-up period of ≥ 12 months, and no serious complications occurred during hospitalization or follow-up period. Conclusions Endo or open surgical treatment is recommended for patients with isolated abdominal aortic dissection with obvious pain or abdominal aortic diameter of 30 mm. For the patients with no pain and abdominal aortic diameter of less than 30 mm, conservative medical treatment is recommended.
