Experimental: Transhepatic portosystemic shunt Patients with cavernous transformation of portal vein undergo transhepatic portalsystemic shunt and other interventional radiology treatment |
Procedure: Transhepatic portosystemic shunt
Portal vein (PV) was punctured with a 22-gauge chiba needle. A 0.018-inch guidewire was advanced through the needle into PV lumen. The needle was exchanged and a 6-French sheath inserted over the wire. Then middle hepatic vein (MHV) was punctured with a 20-gauge reformed needle through the transhepatic sheath. Another 0.018-inch guidewire was advanced through the needle into right internal jugular vein and then snared out of body. A 0.035-inch, 260-cm-long stiff shaft wire was introduced through the transjugular sheath and manipulated into main portal vein (MPV) and then into SMV. The parenchymal tract was dilated with balloon catheter, then one or more bare metal stents and one or more covered stents were inserted to line the parenchymal tract.
Device: 6-French sheath
Device: 22-gauge chiba needle
Device: 260-cm-long stiff shaft wire
