Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patency, functional and haemodynamic results of expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)-covered transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts in patients with liver cirrhosis. METHODS:Thirteen patients with an ePTFE-covered transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt stent (TIPSS) were prospectively evaluated at 6 and 12 months and compared with matched controls with mesh-wire uncovered TIPSS. RESULTS:At 6 months, ePTFE-TIPSS showed a significantly lower porto-caval pressure gradient (PCPG) (9 (3-21) mmHg, P = 0.006), a lower rate of dysfunction (8% versus 54%, P = 0.03) and required fewer reinterventions (2 versus 13, P = 0.02); similar results were obtained after 12 months. This resulted in a reduction in the median cost for angiographic surveillance in the covered TIPSS group at 6 and 12 months (36% and 56% compared to the uncovered TIPSS group, P = 0.002), but total procedure-related costs were higher with the ePTFE-TIPSS (6 months: 3730 (3245-6759) versus 1850 (1466-5479) euro/patient; 12 months: 3945 (3460-6759) versus 2295 (1728-5694) euro/patient) due to the higher initial cost of the ePTFE-covered TIPSS. CONCLUSIONS:The insertion of ePTFE-covered TIPSS results in better maintenance of lowered portal pressure and fewer reinterventions in patients with liver cirrhosis. There is strong evidence that the use of ePTFE-TIPSS does not require regular surveillance to maintain primary patency, which may then improve cost-effectiveness.
