Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome associated with consumption of Gynura segetum

Abstract Background To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) associated with consumption of Gynura segetum (GS). Methods We retrospectively reviewed 9 consecutive patients with GS-related HSOS who we...

description Abstract Background To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) associated with consumption of Gynura segetum (GS). Methods We retrospectively reviewed 9 consecutive patients with GS-related HSOS who were refractory to supportive treatment and underwent TIPS at our institution between January 2014 and September 2019. The patients were evaluated for safety and efficacy, including TIPS complications and changes in portosystemic pressure gradient (PPG), ascites, total bilirubin, liver size and portal vein diameter. Results TIPS procedures were performed successfully in the 9 patients, and no technically-related complications due to the TIPS procedure were recorded. The PPG was improved by TIPS in all patients (mean PPG before TIPS, 30.4 ± 5.2 vs. 13.0 ± 4.1 mm Hg post-TIPS, P = 0.008). One patient who was lost to follow-up, whereas the remaining 8 patients survived with a median follow-up period of 12 months (range 5–39 months). Although the total bilirubin was significantly increased 5–7 days after TIPS compared with that before the procedure (3.57 ± 1.58 vs. 4.82 ± 2.06 mg/dl, P = 0.017), it returned to baseline levels at 1-month follow-up (3.53 ± 2.72 vs. 4.82 ± 2.06 mg/dl, P = 0.401). The patients experienced complete resolution or noticeable reduction of ascites (P < 0.001), significant reduction of liver size (16.7 ± 2.2 vs. 13.7 ± 1.7 cm, P = 0.018), and significant enlargement of the portal trunk (10.7 ± 2.5 vs. 13.4 ± 2.4 mm, P = 0.017) after TIPS compared to the pre-TIPS state. Conclusion TIPS may offer a potentially useful treatment for the GS-related HSOS.
