Patient selection and survival after peritoneovenous shunting for nonmalignant ascites.
Patient selection and survival after peritoneovenous shunting for nonmalignant ascites was assessed in 30 patients undergoing 44 peritoneovenous shunting procedures over a 5-year period. Indications for peritoneovenous shunting included refractory ascites alone, refractory ascites complicated by hepatorenal syndrome, and nonrefractory but recurrent ascites. Fifty-six percent of shunting procedu...
متن کاملPeritoneovenous shunting in intractable ascites
Fourteen patients in whom peritoneovenous shunts were inserted for intractable ascites or malignancy were reviewed.Reduction in ascites was obtained in all patients by the time of discharge with significant diuresis and weight loss. Significant decrease in haemoglobin, packed cell volume, platelet count and prothrombin time also occurred. Coagulation studies were abnormal in 60 per cent of pati...
متن کاملYellow nails, lymphedema and pleural effusion. Treatment of chronic pleural effusion with pleuroperitoneal shunting.
Pleural effusion secondary to lymphedema may be chronic, symptomatic and refractory to treatment, occasionally requiring invasive and painful procedures such as chemical pleurodesis, open pleural abrasion or pleurectomy to achieve control of the effusion and gain symptomatic relief. We report a patient with yellow nail syndrome and chronic pleural effusion successfully treated with pleuroperito...
متن کاملCerebrospinal ascites developed 3 years after ventriculoperitoneal shunting in a hydrocephalic patient.
We report a 23-year-old woman who developed ascites 3 years after ventriculoperitoneal shunting. Revision of the shunt to ventricular drainage followed by ventriculo-atrial shunting was required for resolution of ascites. In our patient the pathophysiology of this rare shunt complication most likely involved impaired absorption of fluid within the peritoneum associated with multiple shunt recon...
متن کاملPeritoneovenous shunting is an effective treatment for intractable ascites.
AIM AND METHODS A retrospective review was carried out of children undergoing peritoneovenous shunting for intractable ascites. RESULTS 11 children, aged 3 months to 12 years (median 31 months) underwent peritoneovenous shunting over the past 17 years. The duration of ascites ranged from one month to 2.5 years (median two months). The primary pathology consisted of previous surgery in eight (...
