Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) causes portal hypertension in noncirrhotic children. Among surgical treatments, it is unclear whether the meso-Rex shunt (MRS) or portosystemic shunt (PSS) offers lower post-operative morbidity and superior patency over time. Our objective was to evaluate long-term outcomes comparing MRS and PSS for pediatric patients with EHPVO.
A systematic review was conducted of articles reporting children undergoing surgical shunts for EHPVO from 1/2000-2/2020. Of 87 articles screened, 22 were eligible for inclusion. The primary outcome was shunt thrombosis and secondary outcomes included non-operative complications, stenosis, and re-operation.
Eighteen of 22 studies were of good quality and four had fair quality. Of 461 patients included, 340 underwent MRS and 121 underwent PSS. MRS were associated with a higher rate of post-operative thrombosis when compared to PSS (14.1% vs 5.8%, p = 0.021). There were 40/340 MRS patients (11.8%) that required at least one re-operation for either shunt thrombosis or stenosis, versus 5/121 PSS patients (4.1%), p = 0.019.
Both MRS and PSS result in acceptable long-term patency rates, but the more technically demanding MRS is associated with higher post-shunt thrombosis, often requiring further operative intervention. This study suggests that PSS may offer advantages for pediatric patients with EHPVO.
肝外门静脉阻塞(EHPVO)可导致非肝硬化儿童发生门静脉高压。在外科治疗中,尚不清楚间置肠系膜上腔静脉-门静脉分流术(MRS)与门体静脉分流术(PSS)哪种手术术后并发症更少,且随着时间的推移更通畅。我们的目的是评估 MRS 和 PSS 治疗 EHPVO 患儿的长期疗效。
对 2000 年 1 月至 2020 年 2 月期间报道儿童 EHPVO 行手术分流术的文章进行了系统评价。在筛选出的 87 篇文章中,有 22 篇符合纳入标准。主要结局是分流术血栓形成,次要结局包括非手术并发症、狭窄和再次手术。
22 项研究中有 18 项质量良好,4 项质量中等。共纳入 461 例患者,其中 340 例行 MRS,121 例行 PSS。与 PSS 相比,MRS 术后血栓形成的发生率更高(14.1% vs 5.8%,p = 0.021)。340 例行 MRS 的患者中有 40 例(11.8%)因分流术血栓形成或狭窄至少需要再次手术,而 121 例行 PSS 的患者中有 5 例(4.1%),p = 0.019。
MRS 和 PSS 均可获得可接受的长期通畅率,但技术要求更高的 MRS 术后血栓形成发生率更高,常需进一步手术干预。本研究提示 PSS 可能对 EHPVO 患儿具有优势。
