Effect of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt combined with I particle implantation on portal vein tumor thrombus in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective: The efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) combined with I particle implantation in the treatment of portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) in hepatocellular carcinoma was discussed and analyzed in this study.

Methods: A total of 127 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) complicated with PVTT admitted to our hospital from March 2017 to June 2018 were enrolled. The patients were classified into an observation group (n=69) and a control group (n=58) in the light of the different treatment methods.
