ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was designed to treat complications of portal hypertension (PH). The objective of this study was to analyze the results of the TIPS performed in pediatric patients in our institution as a previous step to liver transplantation (LT). MATERIAL AND

METHODS:

A retrospective, descriptive study of pediatric patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing TIPS prior to LT from 2015 to 2020 was carried out.

RESULTS:

TIPS was performed in 10 patients. The reason for TIPS was hard-to-control ascites in 7 patients (70%), upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to esophageal varices in 1 patient (10%), and portal hypoplasia in 2 cases (20%). No intraoperative complications were recorded. Stent patency was achieved in all cases. TIPS patency until LT was observed in 6 patients (60%). Indirect signs of patency were noted in 1 patient (10%). 2 patients (20%) required re-intervention, with patency being achieved in the second attempt. And finally, no patency was observed after 3 attempts in 1 patient (10%). A decrease in portocaval gradient (p = 0.001) and an increase in portal velocity (p = 0.006) were observed. No platelet count changes were found. A slight, non-significant increase in ammonia was noted.

CONCLUSION:

TIPS is a safe and effective procedure to reduce complications of hard-to-control PH in pediatric patients. It allows general condition to be optimized, deterioration to be avoided, and portal vein narrowing to be alleviated in cirrhosis patients as a previous step to LT.
RESUMEN

INTRODUCCION:

El shunt portosistémico intrahepático transyugular (TIPS) es un procedimiento para tratar las complicaciones de la hipertensión portal. El objetivo del estudio es analizar los resultados de los TIPS realizados en nuestro centro, a pacientes pediátricos como puente al trasplante hepático (TH). MATERIAL Y

METODOS:

Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo de pacientes pediátricos con cirrosis hepática a los cuales se les ha realizado un TIPS previo al trasplante hepático entre los años 2015 y 2020.

RESULTADOS:

Se realizó el TIPS a 10 pacientes. El motivo fue en 7 por ascitis de difícil control (70%), un caso por hemorragia digestiva alta por varices esofágicas (10%) y en 2 por hipoplasia portal (20%). No hubo complicaciones intraoperatorias y en todos los casos se logró permeabilidad de la endoprótesis. En 6 pacientes (60%) se observó permeabilidad del TIPS hasta el TH, en un paciente se observaron signos indirectos de permeabilidad (10%), 2 casos requirieron reintervención, lográndose permeabilidad en el segundo intento (20%) y en otra paciente (10%) no se observó permeabilidad tras 3 intentos. Se apreció una disminución del gradiente portocava (p = 0,001) y un aumento en la velocidad portal (p = 0,006). No se evidenció cambios en la cifras de plaquetas y se produjo un ligero aumento del amonio, sin ser significativos.

CONCLUSION:

El TIPS es un procedimiento seguro y eficaz para paliar las complicaciones de la hipertensión portal de difícil control en pacientes pediátricos. Nos permite optimizar el estado general, evitar el deterioro y paliar el estrechamiento de la vena porta de los pacientes cirróticos como puente al TH.
