Zusammenfassung
In diesem Bericht dokumentieren wir den ersten Fall einer kompletten Aszitesrückbildung
nach transkoronaret Ablation der Septumhypertrophie (TASH) bei einer Zirrhose-Patientin
mit hypertroph-obstruktiver Kardiomyopathie. Die 52-jährige Patientin mit dekompensierter
äthyltoxischer Leberzirrhose wurde zur Anlage eines transjugulären intrahepatischen
portosystemischen Shunts (TIPS) zugewiesen. Die kombinierte Diuretikatherapie mit
Furosemid und Spironolacton musste aufgrund der ausgeprägten Hyponatriämie und des
Anstiegs der Retentionsparameter beendet werden. Im Rahmen der TIPS-Evaluation wurde
eine hypertroph-obstruktive Kardiomyopathie diagnostiziert. Wir führten eine transkoronare
Ablation der Septumhypertrophie (TASH) durch, was eine komplette Rückbildung des Aszites
ohne weitere Interventionen bewirkte.
Abstract
This report presents the first case of complete resolution of ascites after transcoronary
ablation of septal hypertrophy (TASH) in a cirrhotic patient with concomitant hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HOCM). A 52-years-old woman with decompensated alcoholic liver cirrhosis
was referred to our department for placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic
stent shunt (TIPS) to treat her refractory ascites. The initial treatment with furosemide
and spironolactone had to be discontinued because of severe hyponatriemia and an increase
of creatinine levels. During further evaluation, HOCM was diagnosed by echocardiography
and cardiac catheterization. We performed TASH in order to relieve the dynamic obstruction
of the ventricular outflow tract, and the ascites completely resolved without further
interventions.
