Abstract

Abstract A 63-year-old man showed massive ascites, massive pleural effusion, severe lower-extremity edema, and repeated esophageal variceal bleeding. Two-year previously, he received 13-courses of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (OBC) followed by associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) for multiple colorectal cancer liver metastases but developed a solitary remaining liver metastasis and multiple lung metastases 2 months after the ALPPS, for which multiple regimens of chemotherapy were conducted. The symptoms were considered attributable to the OBC-associated portal-hypertension. Water-retention symptoms were mitigated by the use of tolvaptan but the variceal bleeding necessitated frequent endoscopic treatments and disallowed restarting antineoplastic treatment. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was considered undesirable because TIPS in this patient might have prohibited future repeat hepatectomy. Thus, the patient underwent splenectomy and surgical portosystemic shunting. Since then, the portal-hypertension symptoms were completely resolved. Thereafter, chemotherapy was able to be recommenced. Moreover, repeat hepatectomy was performed. A literature review demonstrated that radiological and/or surgical interventions for the OBC-associated portal-hypertension have been reported in 31 cases to date. However, this report is the first to show a case of successful treatment of the OBC-associated portal-hypertension with splenectomy and surgical portosystemic shunting, which allowed subsequent chemotherapy followed by repeat hepatectomy.
