Abstract
|
|
|
Refractory hepatic hydrothorax has been treated by conservative methods: salt and water restriction, diuretics, thoracentesis, thoracostomy, and pleurodesis. The results, however, havebeen disappointing. Recently, TIPS has emerged as a new method
for
refractory hepatic hydrothorax, but it may lead to fatal complications. We report a case of refractory hepatic hydrothorax that was not treated by TIPS despite of successful control of ascitest.
