Treatment of portal hypertension in patients with HCC in the era of Baveno VII

Dominique Thabut et al.

Summary: Portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma commonly coexist and their association affects the prognosis of cirrhosis patients. The interplay between these conditions has therapeutic significance in terms of treating HCC and managing PHT complications. The management recommendations for PHT have been revised, with new screening and prophylaxis indications. PHT may limit locoregional therapies and TIPS placement can be considered for HCC patients. New systemic HCC therapies can impact PHT levels and increase the risk of bleeding. Prevention and adequate treatment of PHT complications are important, particularly in advanced HCC cases. This expert opinion discusses specific aspects of managing both conditions, incorporating recent data in the HCC field.

Liver resection after Transjugular Portosystemic Stent Shunt (TIPSS)

Svenja Sliwinski et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), commonly occurring in cirrhotic livers, is usually contraindicated for liver resection. Even in compensated liver cirrhosis, there is a high risk of complications. Transjugular portosystemic stent shunts (TIPSS) are also considered a contraindication for liver resection. However, in highly selected cases, liver resection following TIPSS may be considered.

Safety and effectiveness of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Z. -x. Chen et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with portal hypertension. Data from 10 case series were analyzed, and it was found that TIPS treatment significantly reduced the portosystemic pressure gradient, with high technical success rate. However, complications such as hepatic encephalopathy and TIPS dysfunction may occur during follow-up.

Philippe Merle et al.

Summary: With extended follow-up, pembrolizumab demonstrated continued improvement in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared to placebo in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients previously treated with sorafenib. The adverse event profile of pembrolizumab remained consistent with placebo.

Wenzhe Fan et al.

Summary: A prognostic model was developed for post-TIPS patients with HCC beyond the Milan criteria treated by TACE. The model included five significant prognostic factors: vascular invasion, log(10)(AFP), 1/creatinine, extrahepatic spread, and log(10)(ALT). This model could stratify patients into four risk grades and help identify candidates who benefit from the treatment.

Impact and outcomes of liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with clinically significant portal hypertension

Sergio Cortese et al.

Summary: The study investigates the effects of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) on short and long-term outcomes after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The findings suggest that liver resection for HCC can be acceptable in carefully selected Child-Pugh A cirrhotic patients, even in the presence of elevated portal pressure.

Summary: The review highlights the complications of portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis patients, emphasizing the challenges in treatment when both conditions coexist. Studies suggest that the combination of Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab may impact portal hypertension levels and related complications, but real-life data are lacking to support this. Management of portal hypertension remains crucial to improve outcomes for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
