RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Endovascular management of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is challenging. Transsplenic access (TSA) is growing as an access option to the portal system but with higher rates of bleeding complications. The aim of this article is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transsplenic portal vein recanalization (PVR) using a metallic stent after pediatric liver transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective review of 15 patients with chronic PVT who underwent PVR via TSA between February 2016 and December 2020. Two children who had undergone catheterization of a mesenteric vein tributary by minilaparotomy were excluded from the patency analysis but included in the splenic access analysis. The technical and clinical success of PVR and complications related to the procedure via TSA were evaluated. RESULTS: Thirteen children with PVT were treated primarily using the TSA. The mean age was 4.1 years (range, 1.5-13.7 years), and the most common clinical presentation was hypersplenism (60%). Technically successful PVR was performed in 11/13 (84.6%) children, and clinical success was achieved in 9/11 (81.8%) children. No major complications were observed, and one child presented moderate pain in the TSA (from a total of 17 TSA). The median follow-up was 48.2 months. The median primary patency was 9.9 months. Primary patency in the first 4 years was 75%, and primary assisted patency was 100% in the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: Transsplenic PVR is a safe and effective method for the treatment of PVT after pediatric liver transplantation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The management of complex, intra- and extrahepatic portal vein thrombosis (PVT) after liver transplantation (LT) is challenging. Although most of the patients remain asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic in the chronic setting, some of them may develop severe portal hypertension and related complications, notably gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. In the emergency scenario, clinical and endoscopic treatments as well as intensive support constitute the bases of conservative management, while more definitive treatment options such as surgical shunting and retransplantation are related to high morbidity rates. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was largely considered of limited role due to technical difficulties arising from extensive PVT. Recently, however, new minimally invasive image-guided techniques emerged, allowing portal vein recanalization and TIPS creation simultaneously (TIPS-PVR), even in complex PVT pretransplant patients. METHODS: Herein, we describe a novel indication for TIPS-PVR in a post-LT adolescent presenting with life-threatening, refractory GI bleeding. RESULTS: The patient presented with complete resolution of the hemorrhagic condition after the procedure, with no deterioration of hepatic function or hepatic encephalopathy. Follow-up Doppler ultrasound after TIPS-PVR showed normal hepatopetal venous flow within the stents, and no evidence of complications, including intraperitoneal or peri splenic bleeding. CONCLUSIONS: This report describes the feasibility of TIPS-PVR in the post-LT scenario complicated by extensive PVT. In this case, a complete resolution of the life-threatening GI bleeding was achieved, with no major complications. Other patients with complex chronic PVT might benefit from the use of the described technique, but further studies are required to determine the correct timing and indications of the procedure, eventually before the occurrence of life-threatening complications.

RESUMO

Left lateral segment grafts have become a suitable option in pediatric liver transplantation (PLT). The correlation between hepatic vein (HV) reconstruction and outcome is relevant when assessing the safe use of these grafts. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records prospectively collected from a pediatric living donor liver transplantation database and conducted a comparative analysis of the different left lateral segment graft types according to HV reconstruction. Donor, recipient, and intraoperative variables were analyzed. Post-transplant outcomes included vascular complications such as hepatic vein outflow obstruction, early (≤30 d) and late (>30 d) PVT, hepatic artery thrombosis, and graft survival. From February 2017 to August 2021, 303 PLTs were performed. According to venous anatomy, the distribution of the left lateral segment was as follows: single HV (type I) in 174 (57.4%), close HVs, simple venoplasty for reconstruction (type II) in 97 (32.01%), anomalous hepatic vein (AHV) with a distance between the HVs orifices that allowed simple venoplasty (type IIIA) in 25 (8.26%) and AHV with a distance between the HVs orifices requiring homologous venous graft interposition (type IIIB) in 07 (2.31%) grafts. Type IIIB grafts came from male donors ( p =0.04) and had a higher mean donor height ( p =0.008), a higher mean graft weight, and a higher graft-to-recipient weight ratio, both p =0.002. The median follow-up time was 41.4 months. The overall cumulative graft survival was 96.3%, and comparative graft survival showed no difference (log-rank p =0.61). No hepatic vein outflow obstructions were observed in this cohort study. There was no statistically significant difference in the post-transplant outcomes between the graft types. The venous reconstruction of the AHV with homologous venous graft interposition had similar outcomes in the short and long term.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Living donor liver transplantation is a safe alternative for patients on a liver transplant list. Donor evaluation goes beyond physical variables to include social, emotional, and ethical aspects. The role of pre-donation sociopsychological evaluation of the donor candidate is as important to the success of the procedure as is the medical assessment. Success implies recovery from the operation and prompt engagement in pre-transplant professional and social activities, without leading to psychological or physical distress. Psychological profiling of potential living liver donors (PLLD) and evaluation of quality of life (QOL) can influence outcomes. AIM: To evaluate the socio-demographics and psychological aspects (QOL, depression, and anxiety) of PLLD for pediatric liver transplantation in a cohort of 250 patients. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of 250 PLLD who underwent psychological pre-donation evaluation between 2015 and 2019. All the recipients were children. The Beck anxiety inventory, Beck depression inventory, and 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) scores were used to evaluate anxiety (Beck anxiety inventory), depression (Beck depression inventory), and QOL, respectively. RESULTS: A total of 250 PLLD were evaluated. Most of them were women (54.4%), and the mean age was 29.2 ± 7.2 years. A total of 120 (48.8%) PLLD were employed at the time of evaluation for donation; however, most had low income (57% earned < 2 times the minimum wage). A total of 110 patients (44%) did not finish the donation process, and 247 PLLD answered a questionnaire to evaluate depression, anxiety, and QOL (SF-36). Prevalence of depression was of 5.2% and anxiety 3.6%. Although most of the PLLD were optimistic regarding the donation process and never had doubts about becoming a donor, some traces of ambivalence were observed: 46% of the respondents said they would feel relieved if a deceased donor became available. CONCLUSION: PLLD had a low prevalence of anxiety and depression. The foundation for effective and satisfactory results can be found in the pre-transplantation process, during which evaluations must follow rigorous criteria to mitigate potential harm in the future. Pre-donation psychological evaluation plays a predictive role in post-donation emotional responses and mental health issues. The impact of such findings on the donation process and outcomes needs to be further investigated.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It is unclear if there is a natural transition from laparoscopic to robotic surgery with transfer of abilities. AIM: To measure the performance and learning of basic robotic tasks in a simulator of individuals with different surgical background. METHODS: Three groups were tested for robotic dexterity: a) experts in laparoscopic surgery (n=6); b) experts in open surgery (n=6); and c) non-medical subjects (n=4). All individuals were aged between 40-50 years. Five repetitions of four different simulated tasks were performed: spatial vision, bimanual coordination, hand-foot-eye coordination and motor skill. RESULTS: Experts in laparoscopic surgery performed similar to non-medical individuals and better than experts in open surgery in three out of four tasks. All groups improved performance with repetition. CONCLUSION: Experts in laparoscopic surgery performed better than other groups but almost equally to non-medical individuals. Experts in open surgery had worst results. All groups improved performance with repetition.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The impact of perioperative blood transfusion on short- and long-term outcomes in pediatric living donor liver transplantation (PLDLT) must still be ascertained, mainly among young children. Clinical and surgical postoperative complications related to perioperative blood transfusion are well described up to three months after adult liver transplantation. AIM: To determine whether transfusion is associated with early and late postoperative complications and mortality in small patients undergoing PLDLT. METHODS: We evaluated the effects of perioperative transfusion on postoperative complications in recipients up to 20 kg of body weight, submitted to PLDLT. A total of 240 patients were retrospectively allocated into two groups according to postoperative complications: Minor complications (n = 109) and major complications (n = 131). Multiple logistic regression analysis identified the volume of perioperative packed red blood cells (RBC) transfusion as the only independent risk factor for major postoperative complications. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to identify the optimal volume of the perioperative RBC transfusion related to the presence of major postoperative complications, defining a cutoff point of 27.5 mL/kg. Subsequently, patients were reallocated to a low-volume transfusion group (LTr; n = 103, RBC ≤ 27.5 mL/kg) and a high-volume transfusion group (HTr; n = 137, RBC > 27.5 mL/kg) so that the outcome could be analyzed. RESULTS: High-volume transfusion was associated with an increased number of major complications and mortality during hospitalization up to a 10-year follow-up period. During a short-term period, the HTr showed an increase in major infectious, cardiovascular, respiratory, and bleeding complications, with a decrease in rejection complications compared to the LTr. Over a long-term period, the HTr showed an increase in major infectious, cardiovascular, respiratory, and minor neoplastic complications, with a decrease in rejection complications. Additionally, Cox hazard regression found that high-volume RBC transfusion increased the mortality risk by 3.031-fold compared to low-volume transfusion. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves of the studied groups were compared using log-rank tests and the analysis showed significantly decreased graft survival, but with no impact in patient survival related to major complications. On the other hand, there was a significant decrease in both graft and patient survival, with high-volume RBC transfusion. CONCLUSION: Transfusion of RBC volume higher than 27.5 mL/kg during the perioperative period is associated with a significant increase in short- and long-term postoperative morbidity and mortality after PLDLT.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The treatment of choice for patients with cirrhosis and HPS is LT. The clinical manifestations associated with hypoxemia result in limitations and a poor health-related quality of life of affected patients. The present report aims to study the differences in outcomes between patients with PaO2  < 50 mm Hg and those with PaO2  ≥ 50 mm Hg. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of 21 patients under 18 years of age conducted from 2001 to 2018; the patients were divided into 2 groups: G1-PaO2  ≥ 50 mm Hg, 11 patients, and G2-PaO2  < 50 mm Hg, 10 patients. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and perioperative data; outcome variables; and post-transplant survival were compared between the groups. RESULTS: In total, 2/11 (18.2%) patients in G1 and 8/10 (80%) patients in G2 required supplemental oxygen therapy at home (P = .005). Patients in G2 required prolonged MV (median 8.5 days in G2 vs 1 day in G1, P = .015) and prolonged ICU and hospital stays (P = .002 and P = .001, respectively). Oxygen weaning time was longer in G2 (median 127.5 days) than in G1 (median 3 days; P = .004). One (9.1%) patient in G1 and three (30%) patients in G2 died (P = .22). The survival at 90 months was 90.9% in G1 and 70% in G2 (P = .22). CONCLUSION: The survival between groups was similar. Patients with very severe HPS required a longer MV time, longer ICU and hospital stays, and a longer O2 weaning time than those with mild, moderate, or severe HPS.

RESUMO

Neuroendocrine tumours are a heterogeneous group of diseases with a significant variety of diagnostic tests and treatment modalities. Guidelines were developed by North American and European groups to recommend their best management. However, local particularities and relativisms found worldwide led us to create Brazilian guidelines. Our consensus considered the best feasible strategies in an environment involving more limited resources. We believe that our recommendations may be extended to other countries with similar economic standards.

RESUMO

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inherited disorder of branched chain ketoacid (BCKA) oxidation associated with episodic and chronic brain disease. Transplantation of liver from an unrelated deceased donor restores 9-13% whole-body BCKA oxidation capacity and stabilizes MSUD. Recent reports document encouraging short-term outcomes for MSUD patients who received a liver segment from mutation heterozygous living related donors (LRDT). To investigate effects of living related versus deceased unrelated grafts, we studied four Brazilian MSUD patients treated with LRDT who were followed for a mean 19 ± 12 postoperative months, and compared metabolic and clinical outcomes to 37 classical MSUD patients treated with deceased donor transplant. Patient and graft survival for LRDT were 100%. Three of 4 MSUD livers were successfully domino transplanted into non-MSUD subjects. Following LRDT, all subjects resumed a protein-unrestricted diet as mean plasma leucine decreased from 224 ± 306 µM to 143 ± 44 µM and allo-isoleucine decreased 91%. We observed no episodes of hyperleucinemia during 80 aggregate postoperative patient-months. Mean plasma leucine:isoleucine:valine concentration ratios were ~2:1:4 after deceased donor transplant compared to ~1:1:1.5 following LRDT, resulting in differences of predicted cerebral amino acid uptake. Mutant heterozygous liver segments effectively maintain steady-state BCAA and BCKA homeostasis on an unrestricted diet and during most catabolic states, but might have different metabolic effects than grafts from unrelated deceased donors. Neither living related nor deceased donor transplant affords complete protection from metabolic intoxication, but both strategies represent viable alternatives to nutritional management.

RESUMO

The vascular anomalies encountered in patients with biliary atresia associated with polysplenia syndrome and situs inversus (SI) demand technical refinements when liver transplantation is being performed. The available data describing the technique used in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in this population are limited; the short vascular stumps of the donor's liver can impart additional technical difficulties during vascular reconstruction. Here we describe our experience with 9 children with biliary atresia and SI who underwent LDLT. In our series, the retrohepatic vena cava was absent for 7 patients, 7 had a preduodenal portal vein (PV), and 4 had a variant arterial anatomy. The donor's left hepatic vein was anastomosed to the confluence of the recipient's 3 hepatic veins in 7 patients. Vascular grafts were used for PV reconstruction in 3 cases. A left lateral segment graft was used in all but 1 patient who needed a graft reduction. All grafts were placed in the upper left abdomen. There were no vascular complications after transplantation. All patients were alive and well at a median follow-up of 55 months. In conclusion, LDLT can be successfully performed in pediatric patients with SI. Complex vascular anomalies associated with the use of partial liver grafts obtained from living donors are not associated with an increased occurrence of vascular complications.

RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO: O transplante hepático intervivos representa alternativa para reduzir a falta de doação de órgãos. OBJETIVO: Analisar a influência da natremia como fator preditivo da perda precoce do transplante hepático nos três primeiros meses na modalidade intervivos. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo, observacional e analítico de 78 doentes adultos submetidos ao transplante de fígado com doador vivo. A média etária foi 50,7±6,8 anos (18 a 65 anos) e dividiu-se os doentes transplantados em grupo I, com 62 (79,5%) pacientes com sobrevivência do enxerto superior a três meses, e grupo II com 16 (20,5%), que faleceram e/ou apresentaram falha do enxerto no prazo de até três meses após a realização do transplante hepático. Foram analisadas as seguintes variáveis: sexo, idade, etiologia da doença hepática e o nível sérico de sódio no momento do transplante. Foi considerada "perda precoce" a sobrevivência do enxerto hepático menor que três meses após a realização do transplante. Na avaliação dos fatores de risco para perda precoce do enxerto hepático foram utilizados o teste do χ2, o teste t de Student e a análise uni e multivariada. A análise de sobrevivência do enxerto foi realizada pelo modelo de Kaplan-Meier. RESULTADOS: Sexo (p=0,4) e idade (p=0,67) não apresentaram diferença significante. O nível sérico de sódio foi significantemente (p=0,01) maior no grupo I do que no grupo II. CONCLUSÃO: Os valores da natremia estão associados à maior probabilidade de sucesso no transplante hepático na modalidade intervivos.


INTRODUCTION: Living donor liver transplantation has become an appreciable and effective alternative to reduce the problem resulting from the lack of organ donation. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of serum sodium as a predictor of early loss of liver transplantation in the first three months in living donor modality. METHOD: In this analytical study, 78 adults submitted to living donor liver transplantation were studied retrospectively. The mean age was 50.7±6.8 years (18 to 65 years). The transplant recipients were divided into two groups: group I consisted of 62 (79.5%) patients with graft survival longer than three months, and group II consisted of 16 (20.5%) patients who died and/or showed graft failure within three months after liver transplantation. The following variables were analyzed: gender, age, etiology of liver disease and serum sodium concentration at the time of transplantation. Liver graft survival of less than three months after transplantation was defined as "early loss". The χ2 test, Student's t-test and uni and multivariate analysis were used for the evaluation of risk factors for early graft loss. Graft survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier model. RESULTS: No significant difference in gender (p=0.4) and age (p=0.67) was observed between the two groups. Serum sodium concentration was significantly (p=0.01) higher in group I than in group II. CONCLUSION: Serum sodium concentration is associated with a higher probability of graft failure after living donor liver transplantation.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Living donor liver transplantation has become an alternative to reduce the lack of organ donation. OBJECTIVE: To identify factors predictive of early graft loss in the first 3 months after living donor liver transplantation. METHODS: Seventy-eight adults submitted to living donor liver transplantation were divided into group I with 62 (79.5%) patients with graft survival longer than 3 months, and group II with 16 (20.5%) patients who died and/or showed graft failure within 3 months after liver transplantation. The variables analyzed were gender, age, etiology of liver disease, Child-Pugh classification, model of end-stage liver disease (MELD score), pretransplantation serum sodium level, and graft weight-to-recipient body weight (GRBW) ratio. The GRBW ratio was categorized into < 0.8 and MELD score into >18. The chi-square test, Student t-test and uni- and multivariate analysis were used for the evaluation of risk factors for early graft loss. RESULTS: MELD score <18 (P<0.001) and serum sodium level > 135 mEq/L (P = 0.03) were higher in group II than in group I. In the multivariate analysis MELD scores > 18 (P<0.001) and GRBW ratios < 0.8 (P<0.04) were significant. CONCLUSIONS: MELD scores >18 and GRBW < 0.8 ratios are associated with higher probability of graft failure after living donor liver transplantation.

CONTEXTO: O transplante hepático intervivos constitui alternativa para amenizar a falta de doação de órgãos. OBJETIVO: Identificar os fatores preditivos da perda precoce do enxerto hepático nos 3 primeiros meses após transplante hepático intervivo. MÉTODOS: Setenta e oito adultos submetidos ao transplante de fígado intervivos foram divididos em grupo I com 62 (79,5%) doentes com sobrevivência do enxerto superior a 3 meses, e grupo II com 16 (20,5%) que faleceram e/ou apresentaram falha do enxerto até 3 meses após o transplante hepático. As variáveis analisadas foram: sexo, idade, origem da doença hepática, classificação de Child-Pugh, critério MELD, nível sérico de sódio pré-transplante e relação GRBW. O critério MELD foi categorizado em > 18 e a relação GRBW em < 0,8. Na avaliação dos fatores de risco para perda precoce do enxerto hepático foi utilizada a análise uni e multivariada. RESULTADOS: Critério MELD <18 (P = 0,001) e nível sérico de sódio >135 mEq/L (P = 0,03) foram maiores nos doentes do grupo II. A probabilidade de perda do enxerto no transplante hepático intervivos teve como variáveis independentes o índice MELD > 18 e a relação GRBW< 0,8. CONCLUSÃO: Os valores de MELD >18 e GRBW <0,8 estão associados com maior probabilidade de insucesso no transplante hepático intervivos.

RESUMO

A disfunção primária inicial é definida como o mau funcionamento do enxerto durante o período pós-operatório inicial do transplante hepático, sem que se detecte uma causa evidente, como trombose arterial, instabilidade hemodinâmica ou outros eventos que podem interferir na função precoce do enxerto. Os objetivos desse estudo foram: analisar a probabilidade de sobrevida dos receptores transplantados com enxertos com disfunção primária inicial, comparando com receptores transplantados com enxertos que não apresentaram o mesmo evento; determinar o período de maior impacto na sobrevida dos receptores transplantados com enxertos que apresentaram disfunção primária inicial; comparar as causas de mortalidade dos receptores com e sem disfunção primária inicial do enxerto; analisar os fatores preditivos de mortalidade do receptor relacionada à disfunção primária inicial; e determinar o risco de perda tardia de enxertos que apresentaram disfunção primária inicial. Foram estudados 559 receptores transplantados no Departamento de Transplante Hepático do Hospital Clínic i Provincial - Universidade de Barcelona durante o período de junho de 1988 a outubro de 2000. Nos receptores transplantados com enxertos sem disfunção primária a probabilidade de sobrevida foi de 76,64 por cento, contra 63,41 por cento nos receptores transplantados com enxertos com disfunção (p = 0,0092). Excluindo os receptores que foram a óbito no primeiro trimestre pós-transplante, a análise comparativa de sobrevida não demonstrou diferença estatisticamente significante entre receptores com e sem disfunção primária, estabelecendo desta forma o primeiro trimestre como o período de maior impacto na sobrevida dos receptores com disfunção primária inicial do enxerto. A análise comparativa das diferentes causas de mortalidade dos receptores no primeiro trimestre pós-transplante demonstrou que a infecção fúngica foi a única que apresentou valor estatisticamente significante, no sentido de maior...
