Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) can be easily missed or misdiagnosed as Budd-Chiari syndrome in clinical practice. The authors displayed the imaging pictures of one patient with HSOS and made a brief description of typical imaging features, underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, and differential diagnosis of HSOS, with the hope of improving the understanding of HSOS and reducing the rates of leak diagnosis or misdiagnosis.
Objective To explore the methods and effect of venous retransfusion of ascites on the treatment of the complicated patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome.Methods Eighteen complicated and (or) recrudescent patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome were treated by venous retransfusion of ascites between March 2006 and July 2009. The changes in abdominal girth, body weight, the urine volume of 24 h, liver function, renal function, and serum electrolyte measurements before and after treatment were compared. Results After retransfusion of 5 000 ml to 7 800 ml (mean 6 940 ml) ascites, the abdominal girth of patients decreased (Plt;0.05), the urine volume of 24 h tended to normal and during which no serious side-effect happened. The levels of serum BUN, CREA, prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) decreased significantly (Plt;0.05), furthermore the levels of total albumen and albumin increased significantly (Plt;0.05). The changes of serum electrolyte measurements were not significant (Pgt;0.05). The follow-up period for all the patients was in the range of 4 to 37 months (mean 19 months). Then 12 patients were treated by the second operation at 3-6 months after discharge. Conclusions The ascites retransfusion provides a safe and effective treatment option for patients with refractory ascites, and yields a higher likelihood of discharge compared with conventional paracentesis. It is useful in improving quality of life and winning the operational chance for such as patients with complicated Budd-Chiari syndrome.
ObjectiveTo investigate therapeutic method, curative effect, and prognosis of inferior vena cava (IVC) blocking Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) with thrombosis. MethodsClinical data of 128 BCS patients with membranous or short-segment occlusion of IVC as well as IVC thrombosis, who accepted interventional treatment in The Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Apr. 2004 to Jun. 2012, were retrospectively analyzed. Comparison of the difference on effect indicators between predilation group and stent filter group was performed. ResultsThereinto, 9 patients with fresh IVC thrombosis were treated with agitation thrombolysis (agitation thrombolysis group), 56 patients were predilated by small balloon (predilation group), for the rest 63 patients, a stent filter was deployed (stent filter group). Besides 1 stent filter fractured during the first removal attempt and had to be extracted surgically in the stent filter group (patients suffered with sent migration), in addition, the surgeries of other patients were technically successful without procedure-related complication. effect indicators were satisfactory in all patients, and there were no statistical differences between predilation group and stent filter group in dosage of urokinase, urokinase thrombolysis time, hospital stay, and incidence of complication (P > 0.05), but the cost of predilation group was lower than that of stent filter group (P < 0.01). All of the 128 patients were followed-up postoperation, and the duration range from 18 to 66 months with an average of 44.2 months. During the follow-up period, reobstruction of the IVC was observed in 13 patients without thrombosis, of which 1 patient in agitation thrombolysis group, 6 patients in predilation group, and 6 patients in stent filter group. There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between predilation group and stent filter group (P > 0.05). Patients with recurrence got re-expansion treatment, and no stenosis or thrombogenesis recurred. ConclusionsAgitation thrombolysis for fresh IVC trombosis in the patients with BCS is safe and effective. Predilation and stent filter techniques are all effective in the treatment of BCS with chronic IVC thrombosis, but the former technique seems to be more economic.
ObjectiveTo summarize the types of difficult cases and complications during interventional therapy for Budd-Chiari syndrome, and to propose solutions to these problems and complications. MethodsClinical data of 1 859 cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome (2 214 times) who underwent interventional diagnosis and therapy from Jan. 1990 to Sep. 2014 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsOf the 2 214 times, complications happened in 31 times, which were related to the interventional therapy, and the incidence of complication was 1.40% (31/2 214). Of the 31 times who suffered from complications, 25 times were successfully treated, and the successful rate was 80.65%. Three hundreds and seventy two times had been successful treated in 396 times with difficult situation (there were 9 times without treatment), and the successful rate was 96.12% (372/387). Seven patients abandoned inteventional therapy. Six cases died during the operation and hospital stay period, and the mortality was 0.32% (6/1 852). There were 1 553 cases were followed-up for 10-284 months (average of 100.9 months). During the follow-up period, 209 cases suffered from restenosis, and the restenosis rate was 13.46% (209/1 553). ConclusionInterventional therapy for Budd-Chiari syndrome has entered a mature stage, discover timely and correct handling of intraoperative complications are important to improve the successful rate and curative effect.
目的 探讨布加综合征肠房转流术后顽固性腹水的治疗。方法 对2008年收治的1例经多次治疗(包括肠房转流术)后均于短期内复发的布加综合征患者进行回顾性分析。结果 临床表现为重度腹水致呼吸困难，CT静脉造影检查示肠房人工血管通畅但血流量低，考虑吻合口狭窄所致。术中探查发现吻合口极度狭窄，用带外支撑环的补片重建吻合口，疗效满意。结论 复杂或经多次手术或介入治疗的布加综合征患者，要遵循个体化治疗原则，强调术前明确诊断及选择正确治疗方案和手术方式。
