dc.description.abstract | Background Spontaneous portosystemic shunt (SPSS) is a frequent cause of recurrent hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in patients with cirrhosis. Aim To assess the effectiveness and optimal candidate selection for embolisation of SPSS, for the treatment of recurrent HE in patients with cirrhosis. Methods This retrospective cohort study compared 17 patients with recurrent HE who achieved complete occlusion of SPSS by angiographic embolisation and 17 control patients. Results Most baseline characteristics were similar in the two groups. The 2-year HE recurrence rate was significantly lower in the embolisation than in the control group (39.9% vs. 79.9%, P=0.02), whereas their 2-year overall survival rates were similar (64.7% vs. 53.4%, P=0.98). Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) and Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score were significant predictors of 2-year patient mortality in the embolisation group. Analysis of patients with MELD <15 in the absence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showed that 2-year overall survival rate was significantly higher in the embolisation group than in the control group (100% vs. 60%, P=0.03). The median changes in MELD (-1.6 vs. 2.5, P<0.01), CTP score (-3 vs. 0, P<0.01), and liver volume (61mL vs. -117mL; P=0.046) at 1year significantly favoured the embolisation group. Serious clinical complications after embolisation occurred only in patients who had MELD 15 and/or HCC at baseline, with all six dying within 1year. Conclusions Embolisation of a large spontaneous portosystemic shunt may be associated with improved survival and liver function, as well as prevention of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhotic patients with recurrent hepatic encephalopathy and modestly preserved liver function. | - |
