(MW Tear, Gastritis, Gastric/Duodenal Ulcer)
Early endoscopy mandatory
Variceal bleeding Dx’d:
Active bleeding
Stigmata
Varices and NO other source

15. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
VARICEAL BLEEDINGSURGICAL OPTIONS Total Shunt
Selective Shunt
Partial Shunt
Non-Shunt
16. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Total Shunts
17. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Total Shunt Results Prevent rebleed > 90%
Thrombosis with graft
Encephalopathy rate 40%
18. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Selective Shunts Goals:
Prevent variceal bleeding and encephalopathy
Mechanism:
Decompress Varices
Maintain Portal Perfusion
Maintain Portal Hypertension
Key:
Decompress only gastrosplenic compartment
19. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Distal Splenorenal Shunt
20. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
DSRS vs Total Shunts Six randomized trials in N.A.
Mean follow-up 39 mos (1-8 yrs)
21. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Partial Shunts Ease of portocaval
Limited portal diversion
Maintain some liver perfusion
Short, straight PTFE graft
22. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Partial Shunts
23. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Partial Shunts
24. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Non-Shunt Operations Options
Esophageal transection
Variceal ligation
Devascularize +/- splenectomy
Very limited role
25. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Liver Transplant Indicated for liver failure
Not for variceal bleeding
Number ? > 3,500/yr in U.S.
20,000 potential recipients in U.S.
5,000 listed for transplant
24% die on waiting list

28. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
TIPS Technically feasible
Complications 9 - 50%
Infection Intraperitoneal Bleeding
Congestive Failure Subcapsular Hematoma
Acute Renal Failure Hemobilia
Mortality (30 day) 3 - 13%
29. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Problems With TIPS Encephalopathy minimum 15%
Occlusion 33 - 73% @ one year
Rebleeding
18% @ one year (1)
19% @ 4.7 months (3)
30. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
The Role For Tips Refractory bleeding
Bridge to transplant
Child C
(all or only “D?Z” ?)
??? refractory ascites
Relative contraindication: Poor f/u
31. Special Cases of Portal Hypertension
32. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Splenic Vein Thrombosis Etiology:
Pancreatitis - Acute or Chronic
Pancreatic Carcinoma
Hallmark:
Isolated Gastric Varices
Treatment:
Splenectomy (if bleeding)
33. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Portal Vein Thrombosis Etiology:
Congenital - “Cavernous Transformation”
Hallmark:
Normal Liver Function W/ Varices
Treatment:
Endo Tx OR DSRS
34. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Budd-Chiari Syndrome Etiology
Hypercoagulable: Estrogens, XRT, Myeloprolif, PNH
IVC Occlusion: RA Myxoma, Pericarditis, Membrane
Liver Mass
High Dose ChemoTx
Presentation: Classic Triad
Abdominal Pain
Ascites
Hepatomegaly
35. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Budd-Chiari Syndrome Diagnosis
U/S, CT, Angio
Treatment
NOT a static disease
If NO necrosis ? Symptomatic Tx
If necrosis ? Shunt (PCS or MAS) or Transplant
36. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Some Take Home Points Child A better than Child C
Start Sandostatin when Dx suspected
ß blockade ? bleeding by ? C.O
Banding safer than scleroTx
TIPS: Encephalopathy & occlusion rate
37. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
Some Take Home Points Selective shunt: ?? encephalopathy
SV Thrombosis: Presentation & Tx
Budd-Chiari: Classic triad
Transplant for liver failure
