- Living donor liver transplantation in children: Should the adult donor be operated on by an adult or pediatric surgeon? Experience of a single pediatric center(2014) ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro; VELHOTE, Manoel Carlos Prieto; AYOUB, Ali Ahman; SILVA, Marcos Marques; GIBELLI, Nelson Elias M.; TANNURI, Ana Cristina A.; SANTOS, Maria Merces; PINHO-APEZZATO, Maria Lucia; BARROS, Fabio de; MOREIRA, Daniel Rangel; MIYATANI, Helena T.; PEREIRA, Raimundo Renato; TANNURI, UenisBackground/Purpose: Living donor liver transplantation has become a cornerstone for the treatment of children with end-stage hepatic dysfunction, especially within populations or countries with low rates of organ utilization from deceased donors. The objective is to report our experience with 185 living donors operated on by a team pediatric surgeons in a tertiary center for pediatric liver transplantation. Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records of donors of hepatic grafts for transplant undergoing surgery between June 1998 and March 2013. Results: Over the last 14 years, 185 liver transplants were performed in pediatric recipients of grafts from living donors. Among the donors, 166 left lateral segments (89.7%), 18 left lobes without the caudate lobe (9.7%) and 1 right lobe (0.5%) were harvested. The donor age ranged from 16 to 53 years, and the weight ranged from 47 to 106 kg. In 10 donors, an additional graft of the donor inferior mesenteric vein was harvested to substitute for a hypoplastic recipient portal vein. The transfusion of blood products was required in 15 donors (8.1%). The mean hospital stay was 5 days. No deaths occurred, but complications were identified in 23 patients (12.4%): 9 patients experienced abdominal pain and severe gastrointestinal symptoms and 3 patients required reoperations. Eight donors presented with minor bile leaks that were treated conservatively, and 3 patients developed extra-peritoneal infections (1 wound collection, 1 phlebitis and 1 pneumonia). Eight grafts (4.3%) showed primary dysfunction resulting in recipient death (3 cases of fulminant hepatitis, 1 patient with metabolic disease, 1 patient with Alagille syndrome and 3 cases of biliary atresia in infants under 1 year old). There was no relation between donor complications and primary graft dysfunction (P = 0.6). Conclusions: Living donor transplantation is safe for the donor and presents a low morbidity. The donor surgery may be performed by a team of trained pediatric surgeons.
- Living Related Donor Liver Transplantation in Children(2011) TANNURI, A. C. A.; GIBELLI, N. E. M.; RICARDI, L. R. S.; SANTOS, M. M.; MAKSOUD-FILHO, J. G.; PINHO-APEZZATO, M. L.; SILVA, M. M.; VELHOTE, M. C. P.; AYOUB, A. A. R.; ANDRADE, W. C.; LEAL, A. J.; MIYATANI, H. T.; TANNURI, U.Objective. The objective of this study was to report our experience with pediatric orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with living related donors. Methods. We performed a retrospective chart analysis of 121 living related donor liver transplantations (LRDLT) from June 1998 to June 2010. Results. Indications were biliary atresia (BA; n = 81), primary sclerosing cholangitis (n = 5), alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (n = 4); cholestasis (n = 9), fulminant hepatic failure (n = 8), autoimmune hepatitis (n = 2), Alagille syndrome (n = 4), hepatoblastoma (n = 3), tyrosinemia (n = 2), and congenital hepatic fibrosis (n = 3). The age of the recipients ranged from 7-174 months (median, 22) and the weights ranged from 6-58 kg (median, 10). Forty-nine children (40.5%) weighed <= 10 kg. The grafts included the left lateral segment (n = 108), the left lobe (n = 12), and the right lobe (n = 1). The donors included 71 mothers, 45 fathers, 2 uncles, 1 grandmother, 1 grandfather, and 1 sister with a median age of 29 years (range, 16-53 ys) and a median weight of 68 kg (range, 47-106). Sixteen patients (12.9%) required retransplantation, most commonly due to hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT; n = 13; 10.7%). The other complications were biliary stenosis (n = 25; 20.6%), portal vein thrombosis (PVT; n = 11; 9.1%), portal vein stenosis (n = 5; 4.1%), hepatic vein stenosis (n = 6; 4.9%), and lymphoproliferative disorders (n = 8; 6.6%). The ultimate survival rate of recipients was 90.3% after 1 year and 75.8% after 3 years. Causes of early death within 1 month were HAT (n = 6), PVT (n = 2), severe graft dysfunction (n = 1), sepsis (n = 1), and intraoperative death in children with acute liver failure (n = 2). Causes of late deaths included lymphoproliferative disease (n = 3), chronic rejection (n = 2), biliary complications (n = 3), and recurrent disease (n = 3; hepatoblastoma and primary sclerosing cholangitis). Conclusions. Despite the heightened possibility of complications (mainly vascular), LRDLT represented a good alternative to transplantation from cadaveric donors in pediatric populations. It was associated with a high survival ratio.
- Rex Shunt for Acute Portal Vein Thrombosis After Pediatric Liver Transplantation in Children With Biliary Atresia(2011) GIBELLI, N. E. M.; TANNURI, A. C. A.; TANNURI, U.; SANTOS, M. M.; PINHO-APEZZATO, M. L.; MAKSOUD-FILHO, J. G.; VELHOTE, M. C. P.; AYOUB, A. A. R.; SILVA, M. M.; ANDRADE, W. C.Background/Purpose. Posttransplantation portal vein thrombosis (PVT) can have severe health consequences, and portal hypertension and other consequences of the long-term privation of portal inflow to the graft may be hazardous, especially in young children. The Rex shunt has been used successfully to treat PVT patients since 1998. In 2007, we started to perform this surgery in patients with idiopathic PVT and late posttransplantation PVT. Herein we have reported our experience with this technique in acute posttransplantation PVT. Methods. Three patients of ages 12, 15, and 18 months underwent cadaveric (n = 1) or living donor (n = 2) orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). All patients had biliary atresia with portal vein hypoplasia; they developed acute PVT on the first postoperative day. They underwent a mesenteric-portal surgical shunt (Rex shunt) using a left internal jugular vein autograft (n = 2) or cadaveric iliac vein graft (n = 1) on the first postoperative day. Results. The 8-month follow-up has confirmed shunt patency by postoperative Doppler ultrasound. There have been no biliary complications to date. Conclusions. The mesenteric-portal shunt (Rex shunt) using an autograft of the left internal jugular or a cadaveric vein graft should be considered for children with acute PVT after OLT. These children usually have small portal veins; reanastomosis is often unsuccessful. In addition, this technique has the advantage to avoid manipulation of the hepatic hilum and biliary anastomosis. Although this study was based on a limited experience, we concluded that this technique is feasible, with great benefits to and low risks for these patients.
bookPart Tumores abdominais(2020) AYOUB, Ali Abdul Rahman- REX SHUNT FOR ACUTE PORTAL VEIN THROMBOSIS AFTER PEDIATRIC LIVER TRANSPLANT IN CHILDREN WITH BILIARY ATRESIA(2013) GIBELLI, Nelson Elias Mendes; ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro; VELHOTE, Manoel Carlos Prieto; AYOUB, Ali Abdul Rahman; SILVA, Marcos Marques da; PINHO-APEZZATO, Maria Lucia de; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; BARROS, Fabio de; RICARDI, Luis Roberto Schlaich; MOREIRA, Daniel de Albuquerque Rangel; MIYATANI, Helena Thie; PEREIRA, Paulo Renato Alencar; TANNURI, UenisBACKGROUND/PURPOSE: zPost transplant portal vein thrombosis (PVT)can be extremely disastrous, and portal hypertension and other consequences of the long term privation of portal inflow to the graft may be hazardous, especially in the very young children. Since 1998, Rex shunt has been used successfully to treat these patients. In 2007 we started to perform this surgery in patients with idiopathic PVT and late post transplant PVT. We report our experience with this technique in acute post transplant PVT. METHODS: Case report of six patients (age–12–18 months) submitted to cadaveric (1) and living donor (5) liver transplant (LT). All patients had biliary atresia with portal vein hipoplasia and developed acute portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in the first post-operative day. They were submitted to a mesenteric-portal surgical shunt (Rex shunt) with left internal jugular vein autograft (5) and cadaveric iliac vein graft (1) in the first post-operative day. RESULTS: Current follow-up of 12 months. Postoperative Doppler ultrasounds confirmed shunt patency. There were no biliary complications until now. CONCLUSION: The mesenteric-portal shunt (Rex shunt) with left internal jugular vein autograft should be considered in children with acute PVT after liver transplantation. These children usually have small portal veins, and reanastomosis is often unsuccessful. In addition, this technique has the advantage that we do not manipulate the biliary anastomosis and the hepatic hilum, thus avoiding biliary complications. Although this is an initial experience, we conclude that this technique is feasible, with great benefits for these patients and with low risks.
- Which is the best technique for hepatic venous reconstruction in pediatric living-donor liver transplantation? Experience from a single center(2011) TANNURI, Uenis; SANTOS, Maria M.; TANNURI, Ana Cristina A.; GIBELLI, Nelson E.; MOREIRA, Airton; CARNEVALE, Francisco C.; AYOUB, Ali A.; MAKSOUD-FILHO, Joao G.; ANDRADE, Wagner C.; VELHOTE, Manoel C. P.; SILVA, Marcos M.; PINHO-APEZZATO, Maria L.; MIYATANI, Helena T.; GUIMARAES, Raimundo R. N.Background/purpose: The introduction of the piggyback technique for reconstruction of the liver outflow in reduced-size liver transplants for pediatric patients has increased the incidence of hepatic venous outflow block (HVOB). Here, we proposed a new technique for hepatic venous reconstruction in pediatric living-donor liver transplantation. Methods: Three techniques were used: direct anastomosis of the orifice of the donor hepatic veins and the orifice of the recipient hepatic veins (group 1); triangular anastomosis after creating a wide triangular orifice in the recipient inferior vena cava at the confluence of all the hepatic veins (group 2); and a new technique, which is a wide longitudinal anastomosis performed at the anterior wall of the inferior vena cava (group 3). Results: In groups 1 and 2, the incidences of HVOB were 27.7% and 5.7%, respectively. In group 3, no patient presented HVOB (P = .001). No difference was noted between groups 2 and 3. Conclusions: Hepatic venous reconstruction in pediatric living-donor liver transplantation must be preferentially performed by using a wide longitudinal incision at the anterior wall of the recipient inferior vena cava. As an alternative technique, triangulation of the recipient inferior vena cava, including the orifices of the 3 hepatic veins, may be used.
- Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in Biliary Atresia: A Single-Center Experience(2011) TANNURI, A. C. A.; GIBELLI, N. E. M.; RICARDI, L. R. S.; SILVA, M. M.; SANTOS, M. M.; PINHO-APEZZATO, M. L.; MAKSOUD-FILHO, J. G.; VELHOTE, M. C. P.; AYOUB, A. A. R.; ANDRADE, W. C.; BACKES, A. N.; MIYATANI, H. T.; TANNURI, U.Introduction. Biliary atresia (BA) is the leading indication for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) among children. However, there are technical difficulties, including the limited dimensions of anatomical structures, hypoplasia and/or thrombosis of the portal vein and previous portoenterostomy procedures. Objective. The objective of this study was to present our experience of 239 children with BA who underwent OLT between September 1989 and June 2010 compared with OLT performed for other causes. Methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of patient charts and analysis of complications and survival. Results. BA was the most common indication for OLT (207/409; 50.6%). The median age of subjects was 26 months (range, 7-192). Their median weight was 11 kg (range, 5-63) with 110 children (53.1%) weighing <= 10 kg. We performed 126 transplantations from cadaveric donors (60.8%) and 81 from living-related donors (LRD) (39.2%). Retransplantation was required for 31 recipients (14.9%), primarily due to hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT; 64.5%). Other complications included the following: portal vein thrombosis (PVT; 13.0%), biliary stenosis and/or fistula (22.2%), bowel perforation (7.0%), and posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD; 5.3%). Among the cases of OLT for other causes, the median age of recipients was 81 months (range, 11-17 years), which was higher than that for children with BA. Retransplantation was required in 3.5% of these patients (P < .05), mostly due to HAT. The incidences of PVT, bowel perforation, and PTLD were significantly lower (P < .05). There was no significant difference between biliary complications in the 2 groups. The overall survival rates at 1 versus 5 years were 79.7% versus 68.1% for BA, and 81.2% versus 75.7% for other causes, respectively. Conclusions. Children who undergo OLT for BA are younger than those engrafted for other causes, displaying a higher risk of complications and retransplantations.
- Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome after liver transplantation in children: A rare complication related to calcineurin inhibitor effects(2011) SANTOS, Maria M.; TANNURI, Ana Cristina A.; GIBELLI, Nelson E.; AYOUB, Ali A.; MAKSOUD-FILHO, Joao G.; ANDRADE, Wagner C.; VELHOTE, Manoel C. P.; SILVA, Marcos M.; PINHO, Maria L.; MIYATANI, Helena T.; SUSUKI, Liza; TANNURI, UenisPRES is a neuroclinical and radiological syndrome that results from treatment with calcineurin inhibitor immunosuppressives. Severe hypertension is commonly present, but some patients may be normotensive. We report herein two children who received liver transplants, as treatment for biliary atresia in the first case and for Alagille's syndrome in the second one. In the early postoperative, both patients presented hypertension and seizures. In both cases, the image findings suggested the diagnosis of PRES. The CT scan showed alterations in the posterior area of the brain, and brain MRI demonstrated parietal and occipital areas of high signal intensity. Both children were treated by switching the immunosuppressive regimen and controlling arterial blood pressure. They displayed full recuperation without any neurologic sequelae. Probably, the pathophysiology of PRES results from sparse sympathetic innervation of the vertebrobasilar circulation, which is responsible for supplying blood to the posterior areas of the brain. In conclusion, all liver-transplanted children who present with neurological symptoms PRES should be considered in the differential diagnosis, although this is a rare complication. As treatment, we recommend rigorous control of arterial blood pressure and switching the immunosuppressive regimen.
- LIVER TRANSPLANTATION IN CHILDREN: 14 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH LIVING DONORS(2013) ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro; VELHOTE, Manoel Carlos Prieto; AYOUB, Ali Abdul Rahman; SILVA, Marcos Marques da; GIBELLI, Nelson Elias Mendes; PINHO-APEZZATO, Maria Lucia de; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; BARROS, Fabio de; RICARDI, Luis Roberto Schlaich; MOREIRA, Daniel de Albuquerque Rangel; MIYATANI, Helena Thie; PEREIRA, Paulo Renato Alencar; TANNURI, UenisOBJECTIVES: Report on the experience with 170 living donors in pediatric liver transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of the medical records of donors operated between June 1998 and October 2012. RESULTS: Over the past 14 yrs, 169 liver transplants were performed in pediatric recipients of living donor grafts. In a potential left lateral segment donor, there was a minor injury in the right branch of portal vein, repaired without consequences for the patient, but resulting in abortion of the transplant. From the remaining donors, 151 left lateral segments (89.34%), 17 left lobes (10.06%) and 1 right lobe (0.6%) were removed. Donor age ranged from 16 to 53 yrs and weight ranged from 47 to 106 kg. Transfusion of blood products was required in 14 donors (8.3%). The mean hospital stay was 5 days. Complications were identified in 21 patients (12.4%): 11 showed intense dyspeptic symptoms and abdominal pain (two patients underwent reoperation), seven presented minor bile leaks, and three developed extra-peritoneal infection (incision abscess, phlebitis and pneumonia). There was no mortality in this series. Eight grafts (4.7%) had primary dysfunction, resulting in death of the recipient (three cases of fulminant hepatitis, one metabolic disease carrier, one Alagille Syndrome carrier and three cases of biliary atresia in infants under 1 yr of age). CONCLUSION: Living-related liver transplantation in children generates low risk and morbidity for the donors of left lobe or left lateral segment grafts, with good outcomes for the recipients, eliminating the disadvantages of the waiting list for cadaveric grafts.
- ACUTE LIVER FAILURE WITH ASSOCIATED APLASTIC ANEMIA IN CHILDREN(2013) MOREIRA, Daniel de Albuquerque Rangel; ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro; VELHOTE, Manoel Carlos Prieto; AYOUB, Ali Abdul Rahman; SILVA, Marcos Marques da; GIBELLI, Nelson Elias Mendes; PINHO-APEZZATO, Maria Lucia de; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; BARROS, Fabio de; MIYATANI, Helena Thie; PEREIRA, Paulo Renato Alencar; TANNURI, UenisOBJECTIVES: Herein we describe the experience of six cases of acute liver failure with associated aplastic anemia treated at ICR – HCFMUSP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We reviewed the records of patients undergoing liver transplantation for acute liver failure with associated aplastic anemia treated at ICR–HCFMUSP between 2007 and 2012. We collected information regarding the type of treatment offered, diagnosis, bone marrow recovery time, interval between onset of symptoms until liver transplantation and the diagnosis of bone marrow aplasia. RESULTS: In this period we found five patients who met the criteria established, four boys and a girl. The mean age was 9.6 yrs (9–12). The time between onset of symptoms and liver transplantation was 25.2 days (17–30) and until the appearance of pancytopenia 35 days (20–45). Two patients were treated with thymoglobulin and median time to recovery of bone marrow function after treatment was 17.5 days. One patient died from sepsis after treatment and another from bleeding without taking thymoglobulin. CONCLUSION: Aplastic anemia is a potentially fatal complication associated with acute liver failure. There is no standardized treatment in the literature. Reports show cases of liver and bone marrow recovery after immunosuppressive therapy with anti-thymocyte globulin and anti-lymphocytes despite the risk inherent in the use of such substances in critically ill patients the presence of large numbers of activated T lymphocytes in the marrow and liver biopsies from these patients corroborates this therapeutic. In severe cases of aplastic anemia with HLA compatible sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been performed successfully in the treatment of this condition.
