To evaluate the consistency and agreement between portal venous pressure measured by a fine needle (FN-PVP), direct portal vein catheterization (D-PVP), and wedged hepatic vein balloon occlusion (W-HVP) in patients with decompensated cirrhosis and intrahepatic venovenous shunts (IHVSs).
One hundred fifty-six consecutive patients planning to receive a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in the authors' center were screened for study participation. The FN-PVP, D-PVP, and W-HVP were assessed for consistency by Pearson coefficient (r), linear regression coefficient (R), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and for disagreement (error exceeding 20% of D-PVP) by the Bland-Altman method.
Of 92 eligible patients, FN-PVP was successfully obtained in 37 (40.2%) with IHVS, with no puncture-related adverse events. In these patients, there were significant differences between W-HVP and D-PVP (-14.3 mm Hg; P < .001) with poor consistency (r = 0.410; R = 0.168; ICC, 0.105) but only minor differences between FN-PVP and D-PVP (-0.5 mm Hg; P = .134) with good consistency (r = 0.951; R = 0.904; ICC, 0.944). This pattern did not change when pressure gradients were compared (R = 0.083/0.767) and adjusted by stiffness measurements and platelet counts (R = 0.196/0.789). The W-HVP/D-PVP and FN-PVP/D-PVP disagreement occurred in 47.8% (34 with IHVS, 91.9%) and 0.0% of patients, respectively. In multivariate linear regression, only the presence of portal vein thrombosis (P = .045) was an independent predictor for the lower FN-PVP/D-PVP ratio. Portosystemic pressure gradient of FN-PVP showed greater ability to stratify that of D-PVP of 16 mm Hg (area under the curve, 1.000 vs 0.574; P < .001) and 20 mm Hg (0.974 vs 0.662; P = .001) than that of W-HVP.
FN-PVP measurement may be a valid and safe approach to reflect the severity of sinusoidal portal hypertension in patients with IHVS.
评估细针测量门静脉压力(FN-PVP)、直接门静脉置管(D-PVP)和肝静脉楔形球囊闭塞术(W-HVP)在失代偿期肝硬化合并肝内静脉分流(IHVS)患者中的一致性和相关性。
作者所在中心连续156例计划接受经颈静脉肝内门体分流术的患者被筛选纳入研究。通过Pearson系数(r)、线性回归系数(R)和组内相关系数(ICC)评估FN-PVP、D-PVP和W-HVP之间的一致性,并采用Bland-Altman方法评估差异(误差超过D-PVP的20%)。
92例符合条件的患者中,37例(40.2%)合并IHVS的患者成功获得FN-PVP,无穿刺相关不良事件。在这些患者中,W-HVP与D-PVP之间存在显著差异(-14.3 mmHg;P <.001),一致性较差(r = 0.410;R = 0.168;ICC,0.105),而FN-PVP与D-PVP之间差异较小(-0.5 mmHg;P =.134),一致性良好(r = 0.951;R = 0.904;ICC,0.944)。当比较压力梯度(R = 0.083/0.767)并通过硬度测量和血小板计数进行调整时(R = 0.196/0.789),这种模式没有改变。W-HVP/D-PVP和FN-PVP/D-PVP差异分别发生在47.8%(34例合并IHVS,91.9%)和0.0%的患者中。在多变量线性回归中,只有门静脉血栓形成的存在(P =.045)是FN-PVP/D-PVP比值较低的独立预测因素。FN-PVP的门体压力梯度比W-HVP更能区分D-PVP为16 mmHg时(曲线下面积,1.000对0.574;P <.001)和20 mmHg时(0.974对0.662;P =.001)的情况。
FN-PVP测量可能是反映IHVS患者窦性门静脉高压严重程度的一种有效且安全的方法。
