This report discusses a case of a patient who developed chylous ascites after liver transplantation, and after using a homemade PRP-FG, the symptoms improved. When conservative management fails, PRP-FG can be considered as a last resort treatment for postoperative chylous ascites.
In this report we have discussed our experience with a special home-made platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-fibrin glue (FG) as a last resort for treatment of a challenging case of postoperative CA. A 25 years old, ill woman was admitted with severe ascites and hepatic encephalopathy in our center. She was a known case of autoimmune hepatitis and cirrhosis who had undergone liver transplantation 5 years ago and developed chronic rejection. During the surgery an old organized thrombosis in the portal vein was detected, accordingly an iliac vein graft was used to bypass the superior mesenteric vein. After surgery the patient developed chylous ascites. Having no other choice, based on our experience with PRP-FG in similar situations, we decided to use this method as a last resort to treat postoperative chylous ascites. It can be concluded that when conservative management is not working for the treatment of postoperative chylous ascites in intractable cases, PRP-FG can be considered as a last resort treatment. A special home-made PRP-FG was prepared for the patient and of that, 90 mL was injected to the abdominal cavity via the drainage tube followed by a 25 mL of isotonic saline solution to prevent clot formation within the tube. Few days after treatment, chylous secretion decreased and then completely ceased. It can be concluded that when conservative management is not working for the treatment of postoperative chylous ascites in intractable cases, PRP-FG can be considered as a last resort treatment.
