To describe the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent placement in patients presenting with suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) outflow compromise in the early postoperative period following orthotopic liver transplantation.
Between October 2002 and April 2009, 3 patients presented with IVC outflow compromise in the first 2 months following orthotopic liver transplantation. All 3 underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent placement without complication and showed significant clinical improvement at short and intermediate term follow-up.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and Gianturco stent placement is a safe and effective treatment for IVC outflow compromise in the early postoperative period following orthotopic liver transplantation.
描述经皮腔内血管成形术和支架置入术在原位肝移植术后早期出现肝上腔静脉(IVC)流出道阻塞患者中的安全性和疗效。
2002 年 10 月至 2009 年 4 月,3 例患者在原位肝移植后 2 个月内出现 IVC 流出道阻塞。所有 3 例患者均成功接受了经皮腔内血管成形术和 Gianturco 支架置入术,无并发症发生,并在短期和中期随访中显示出显著的临床改善。
经皮腔内血管成形术和 Gianturco 支架置入术是治疗原位肝移植术后早期 IVC 流出道阻塞的一种安全有效的方法。
