Abstract
Purpose: Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) after liver transplantation (LT) is almost always a fatal complication. We assessed the outcomes of HVOD in a single institute and analyzed a literature-based cohort.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of recipients of LT performed between 1995 and 2020 at our institute and the literature on HVOD after LT. We then analyzed the clinical features based on a "pooled" cohort of cases identified in our institute and reported in the literature.
Results: HVOD was diagnosed in 3 of 331 LT recipients, all of whom died in hospital, on days 164, 12, and 13, respectively. Our comprehensive review of the literature, as well as our cases, identified eight cases of HVOD that developed within 14 days after LT (early-onset type). Early-onset HVOD had a significantly worse prognosis than HVOD that developed beyond 2 weeks after LT (non-early-onset type), which was identified in 22 cases (25.0% vs. 86.1% of the 3-month graft survival rate). The most common causes of early-onset and non-early-onset types were acute cellular rejection (50%) and drug-induced disease (50%), respectively.
Conclusion: Early-onset HVOD developing within 14 days after LT has a poor prognosis.
期刊介绍:
Surgery Today is the official journal of the Japan Surgical Society. The main purpose of the journal is to provide a place for the publication of high-quality papers documenting recent advances and new developments in all fields of surgery, both clinical and experimental. The journal welcomes original papers, review articles, and short communications, as well as short technical reports("How to do it").
The "How to do it" section will includes short articles on methods or techniques recommended for practical surgery. Papers submitted to the journal are reviewed by an international editorial board. Field of interest: All fields of surgery.
