Abstract

Background and aims

Bleeding from stomal varices is uncommon. Local measures to control the bleeding offer short-lived control. Our experience with transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS) and variceal embolisation is presented and appraised.

Patient and methods

Three patients presented with bleeding from stomal varices (Child–Pugh class B, n=2 and class C, n=1) in association with primary sclerosing cholangitis, autoimmune hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease. Local treatment measures including suture ligation, sclerotherapy and re-siting of the stoma achieved short-lived control. TIPS were inserted in all 3 patients, with embolisation of the stomal varices in 2.

Results/findings

The radiological interventions were uncomplicated and resulted in cessation of the bleeding in all patients. One of the patients has had no further bleeding at 12 months’ follow-up post-TIPS insertion. The other two patients re-bled at 5 and 6 months post-TIPS insertion and were successfully managed by insertion of a second TIPS in one patient and by balloon dilatation of the TIPS in another. The former patient has had no re-bleeding at a further 8 months’ follow-up, while the latter had re-bleeding at 12 months post-TIPS insertion and underwent liver transplantation.

Interpretation/conclusion

Transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt with variceal embolisation offers an effective, minimally invasive management option in patients with bleeding stomal varices, and may be used as the primary mode of intervention in conjunction with medical therapy, and as the definitive therapy in patients unfit for surgery. TIPS and variceal embolisation do not preclude subsequent liver transplantation, and may be used during the acute situation as a bridge to transplantation.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
