Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for refractory ascites. Refractory ascites is defined as ascites that can not be mobilized or the early recurrence of which can not be satisfactorily prevented by medical therapy. Large volume paracentesis is the choice treatment for patients with tense ascites. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) would be indicated when there is frequent (> 3 times per month) need for large volume paracentesis to manage ascites. Liver transplantation is indicated for refractory ascites treatment in patients that can not be underwent TIPS.
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for refractory ascites. Refractory ascites is defined as ‘ascites that can not be mobilized or the early recurrence of which can not be satisfactorily prevented by medical therapy'.[1]
- Refractory ascites is contributed with very poor prognosis, 50% of them would die within 6 months. Using beta-blocker agents (for preventing esophageal varices in cirrhosis) can cause poorer prognosis in ascitis.[2]
- The process of administering various surgical treatments is as following:[3]
| Refractory Ascites | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Large volume paracentesis | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Salt restriction and diuretics | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Controlled | Not controlled | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Salt restriction and diuretics | TIPS possible | TIPS not possible | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TIPS | Repeated Large volume paracentesis | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Liver transplant | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Large volume paracentesis
- Large volume paracentesis is the choice treatment for patients with tense ascites.
- The rate of complications is very low in this procedure.[4]
- The most common complication following paracentesis is paracentesis-induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD). The condition is due to systemic vasoconstriction in response to massive central fluid loss, which can lead to hepatorenal syndrome in 20% of patients.[5]
- Paracentesis of less than 5 L fluid can be done without need to colloid infusion for preventing PICD.[6]
Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS)
- Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) would be indicated when there is frequent (> 3 times per month) need for large volume paracentesis to manage ascites.
- TIPS is side-to-side anastomosis between high pressure portal vein and low pressure hepatic vein, in order to decline the portal congestion.[7]
- TIPS is more effective than paracentesis in mobilizing ascites fluid. However, it is more prevalent in TIPS patients to develop hepatic encephalopathy.[8]
Liver transplantation
- Liver transplantation is indicated for refractory ascites treatment in patients that can not be underwent TIPS.[3]
