  • Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS): A Bridge to Bariatric Surgery in Morbidly Obese Patients with Cirrhosis and Clinically Significant Portal Hypertension

    by Raluca Pais, Yasmina Chouik, Lucile Moga, Louise Lebedel, Christine Silvain, Laurent Genser, Delphine Weill, Hélène Larrue, Emilie Malézieux, Caroline Jezéquel, et al.

    Background In cirrhotic patients, portal hypertension increases mortality after surgery. We evaluated the impact of pre-operative transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on the outcomes of bariatric surgery in cirrhosis. Methods Multicentric retrospective cohort. The decision for TIPS placement has been made according to hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) values and centers’ policy. The primary outcome: 1-year decompensation-free survival; secondary outcomes: 1-year acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and survival. Results Fifty-three patients were included (2010–2022): 92% Child–Pugh A, MELD score 8, age 55 years, BMI 38.3 ± 13 kg/m2, 9 (18%) had TIPS. At baseline, patients with TIPS had more esophageal varices (89% vs 10%, p < 0.001), more previous decompensations (22% vs 0%, p = 0.002), and a higher HVPG (14 vs 7 mmHg, p < 0.001). All patients in the TIPS group had clinically significant portal hypertension vs 11% of patients without TIPS, p < 0.001. One-year decompensation-free survival was 77.8% and 93.2% in patients with and without TIPS, p = 0.064. ALCF occurred in 3 patients (6.8%) without TIPS and none with TIPS. All patients were alive 1 year after surgery. Conclusions In patients with cirrhosis and clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) undergoing bariatric surgery, TIPS placement was safe and had similar outcomes after surgery as patients without TIPS.

    Pegylated interferon may be considered in chronic viral hepatitis E resistant to ribavirin in kidney transplant recipients

    by I. Ollivier-Hourmand, L. Lebedel, A. Lecouf, M. Allaire, T. T. N. Nguyen, C. Lier, T. Dao

    Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) may be resistant to immunosuppression reduction and ribavirin treatment in kidney transplant recipients because of mutant strains and severe side effects of ribavirin which conduct to dose reduction. Sofosbuvir efficacy is controversial. Peg-interferon 2 alpha (PEG-IFN) is currently contraindicated due to a high risk of acute humoral and cellular rejection. The present study assessed, for the first time, the effect of PEG-IFN in a kidney transplant recipient infected with HEV. Case presentation: The patient had chronic active HEV that was resistant to immunosuppression reduction and optimal ribavirin treatment. He developed significant liver fibrosis. PEG-IFN was administered for 10 months, and it was well tolerated and did not induce rejection. A sustained virological response was obtained. Conclusions: We conclude that prolonged treatment with PEG-IFN in kidney transplant recipients infected with HEV could be considered as a salvage option.
