Kurzfassung:
To assess the technical feasibility, success rate, puncture complications and procedural characteristics of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement using a three-dimensional vascular map (3D-VM) overlay based on image registration of pre-procedural contrast-enhanced (CE) multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) for portal vein puncture guidance. Materials and methods Overall, 27 consecutive patients (59 ± 9 years, 18male) with portal hypertension undergoing elective TIPS procedure were included. TIPS was guided by CE-MDCT overlay after image registration based on fluoroscopic images. A 3D-VM of the hepatic veins and the portal vein was created based on the pre-procedural CE-MDCT and superimposed on fluoroscopy in real-time. Procedural characteristics as well as hepatic vein catheterization time (HVCT), puncture time (PT), overall procedural time (OPT), fluoroscopy time (FT) and the dose area product (DAP) were evaluated. Thereafter, HVCT, PT, OPT and FT using 3D-VM (61 ± 9 years, 14male) were compared to a previous using classical fluoroscopic guidance (53 ± 9 years, 21male) for two interventional radiologist with less than 3 years of experience in TIPS placement. Results All TIPS procedure using of 3D/2D image registered 3D-VM were successful with a significant reduction of the PSG ( p 〈 0.0001). No clinical significant complication occurred. HVCT was 14 ± 11 min, PT was 14 ± 6 min, OPT was 64 ± 29 min, FT was 21 ± 12 min and DAP was 107.48 ± 93.84 Gy cm 2 . HVCT, OPT and FT of the interventionalist with less TIPS experience using 3D/2D image registered 3D-VM were statistically different to an interventionalist with similar experience using fluoroscopic guidance ( p HVCT = 0.0022; p OPT = 0.0097; p FT = 0.0009). PT between these interventionalists was not significantly different ( p PT = 0.2905). Conclusion TIPS placement applying registration-based CE-MDCT vessel information for puncture guidance is feasible and safe. It has the potential to improve hepatic vein catherization, portal vein puncture and radiation exposure.
