Background: Post-TACE pancreatitis in HCC patients is well documented complications. We sought to determine if prior h/o TACE in addition to other risk factors(RF) contributes to development of early post-op pancreatitis after LT in modern era and how early pancreatitis impacts LT outcomes.

Methods: We reviewed 134 adult recipients of primary DDLTx(2012-2014). Definitions: chemical pancreatitis (ChP)=elevated levels amylase/lipase (2Xnormal upper limit), clinical pancreatitis (CP)=ChP+symptoms and CT findings consistent with pancreatitis. Demographics, h/o TACE and additional pancreatitis RF were assessed by univariate analysis(UVA); those significant were studied using multivariate analysis(MVA). One-year rejection/mortality/graft failure and length of stay(LOS) were compared between the groups.

Results:

Incidence of early post-op CP was 4%(n=5), ChP 14%(n=19), diagnosed within one week of LT. H/o TACE, HCC and native portal vein thrombosis(PVT) were significant RF for development of CP and ChP in UVA. Native PVT and post-transplant venous/arterial thrombosis were independent RF for development of CP+ChP in MVA. In multivariate adjusted model, hospital/ICU LOS were significantly longer for CP as compared to ChP and no pancreatitis groups; there was no difference in 1-year rejection/mortality/graft failure.

Conclusions:

TACE, HCC and pre-op PVT were significant RF in development of early pancreatitis in UVA. In MVA, h/o TACE lost significance possibly due to small numbers; pre-op PVT and post-op venous/arterial thrombosis remained independent RF. Early CP after LT increased hospital/ICU LOS, but didn't increase 1-year rejection/mortality/graft failure rates in modern era.
