This study validates a method for predicting unseen liver target locations during transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedures. The research confirms cirrhotic livers are rigid, enabling accurate 3D target localization for improved safety.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation involves targeting a moving structure visualized transiently by X-ray.
  • Intraoperative 3D target localization is crucial for enhancing access and safety during TIPS procedures.
  • A common assumption is that cirrhotic livers are rigid during surgery, undergoing only translation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the hypothesis that unseen 3D target points within the liver can be accurately localized intraoperatively.
  • To determine if liver deformation during TIPS procedures is minimal, supporting predictive localization techniques.
  • To assess the accuracy of predicting target point positions based on relative tracking of other intrahepatic points.

Main Methods:

  • Reconstruction of 3D intrahepatic vessel bifurcations and trackable points from biplane X-ray angiograms.
  • Measurement of liver deformation by analyzing changes in distances between 3D points over time.
  • Comparison of predicted versus actual displacements of target points relative to a fixed reference point.

Main Results:

  • Analysis of intraoperative biplane X-ray images from seven patients undergoing TIPS.
  • Tracking of cardiac, respiratory motion, and needle pressure effects on liver dynamics.
  • Observed intraoperative liver deformation was less than previously reported for healthy livers.

Conclusions:

  • The rigid nature of cirrhotic livers in TIPS patients supports the hypothesis of predictable target localization.
  • The developed method allows for accurate prediction of unseen target locations within 3mm.
  • This technique can significantly improve the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedures.
