Hepatic Vein Flow During Orthotopic Liver Transplantation as Predictive Factor for Postoperative Graft Function

May 19, 2024 updated by: Yoshihisa Morita, Henry Ford Health System

Hepatic Vein Flow Assessment With Transesophageal Echocardiography for Postoperative Graft Function Prediction in Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

Hepatic vein flow (HVF) assessment using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has a potential to predict postoperative graft function in orthotopic liver transplant (OLT). Investigators will measure HVF using TEE and assess the correlation with postoperative graft function indices such as early allograft dysfunction(EAD), prolonged INR, platelet, and total bilirubin.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

During OLT, intraoperative TEE assessment of HVF (systolic and diastolic) were measured, and adjusted with donor graft weight. This index, HVF index, was assessed for correlation with EAD. HVF was calculated with hepatic vein area (cm2) x hepatic vein velocity (ml/s) in systole and diastole during the neohepatic phase. Investigators did ROC analysis to assess the predictive power for EAD, prolonged INR, platelet, and total bilirubin.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

EAD after orthotopic liver transplantation
Early allograft dysfunction (EAD), which was defined by the presence of one or more of the following: total bilirubin (t-bil) ≥ 10 mg/dL (171 μmol/L) or, INR ≥ 1.6 on day 7, and ALT/AST > 2,000 IU/L within the first 7 days.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
EAD
Time Frame: EAD met at any point within the first 7 days status post OLT

Primary outcome was early allograft dysfunction (EAD), which was defined by the presence of one or more of the following: total bilirubin (t-bil) ≥ 10 mg/dL (171 μmol/L) or, INR ≥ 1.6 on postoperative day 7. and ALT/AST > 2,000 IU/L

Systolic and diastolic hepatic vein flow index was assessed intraoperatively in neohepatic phase in both of EAD and non EAD group, and reported.
EAD met at any point within the first 7 days status post OLT

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acute Rejection
Time Frame: Acute rejection noted at any point within 6-8 weeks post transplant
Acute rejection noted with biopsy at any point within 6 to 8 weeks post-transplant
Acute rejection noted at any point within 6-8 weeks post transplant
Prolonged (>Seven Days) Time to Normalize Total Bilirubin (TIME T-bil)
Time Frame: postoperative day 7 assessment
Normal total bilirubin < 1.2 mg/dL
postoperative day 7 assessment
Prolonged (>Seven Days) Time to Normalize INR (TIME Inr)
Time Frame: postoperative day 7 assessment
Normal INR < 1.16
