摘要
AIM: To evaluate the effect of three interventional treatments involving transvenous obliteration for the treatment of gastric varices, and to compare the efficacy and adverse effects of these methods, METHODS: From 1995 to 2004, 93 patients with gastric fundal varices underwent interventional radiologic embolotherapy at our hospital. Of the 93 patients, 75 were treated with the balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) procedure; 8 were with the percutaneous transhepatic obliteration (PTO) procedure; and 10 were with the combined BRTO and PTO therapy. A follow-up evaluation examined the rates of survival, recurrence and rebleeding of the gastric varices, worsening of esophageal varices and complications in each group. RESULTS: The BRTO, PTO, and combined therapy were technically successful in 81% (75/93), 44% (8/18), and 100% (10/10) patients, respectively. Recurrence of gastric varices was found in 3 patients in the BRTO group and in 3 patients in the PTO group. Rebleeding was observed in 1 patient in the BRTO group and in 1 patient in the PTO group. The 1- and 3-year survival rates were 98% and 87% in the patients without hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the BRTO group, 100% and 100% in the PTO group, and 90% and 75% in the combined therapy group, respectively. CONCLUSION: Combined BRTO and PTO therapy may rescue cases with uncontrollable gastric fundal varices that remained even after treatment with BRTO and/or PTO, though there were limitations of our study, including retrospective nature and discrepancy in sample size between the BRTO, PTO and combined therapy groups.
瞄准:评估为胃的静脉曲张的处理包含 transvenous 涂去的三个 interventional 处理的效果,并且比较功效和这些方法的不利效果。方法:从 1995 ~ 2004,有胃的底的静脉曲张的 93 个病人经历了 interventional 在我们的医院的放射线学的 embolotherapy。93 个病人, 75 被对待与堵塞汽球后退 transvenous 涂去(BRTO ) 过程;8 与经皮的 transhepatic 涂去(PTO ) 是过程;并且 10 与联合 BRTO 和 PTO 治疗。后续评估检验了幸存的率,复发并且胃的静脉曲张重新流血,在每个组食道的静脉曲张和复杂并发症变得更坏。结果:BRTO, PTO,和联合治疗在 81% 是技术上成功的(75/93 ) , 44%(8/18 ) ,并且 100%(10/10 ) 病人分别地。胃的静脉曲张的复发在 PTO 组在 BRTO 组并且在 3 个病人在 3 个病人被发现。重新流血在 PTO 组在 BRTO 组并且在 1 个病人在 1 个病人被观察。没有肝细胞癌(HCC ) , 1 年、 3 年的幸存率在在 PTO 组的 BRTO 组, 100% 和 100% 在病人是 98% 和 87% ,并且 90% 和 75% 分别地在联合治疗组织。结论:尽管有我们的学习的限制,联合 BRTO 和 PTO 治疗可以与与 BRTO 或 PTO 仍然是甚至术后疗法的控制不了的胃的底的静脉曲张救盒子,包括在在 BRTO, PTO 和联合治疗组之间的样品尺寸的回顾的自然和差异。
