Evolution of Azigoportal Dissociation Technologies in Prevention of Bleedings of Portal Genesis

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Esophageal and stomach varicose veins is one of the most frequent and serious complications of portal hypertension with incidence about 80–90% among liver cirrhosis patients. In developing countries hemorrhage-related mortality is up to 60%, in countries with well-established hepatology services – 20%. This value is near 24.4% among liver cirrhosis patients waiting for transplantation. In multiple clinical recommendations and protocols for prevention and treatment of bleeding transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting is posed as preferable treatment, however it is associated with early encephalopathy and the risk of TIPS thrombosis. The possibilities of TIPS are significantly limited in case of spleno-portal pool thrombosis. In view of disadvantages of conventional bypass procedures azigoportal dissociation is under close attention.
