Bizarre Complications of Peritoneovenous Shunts
Annals of Surgery, 1981 Implantable peritoneovenous shunts have facilitated the management of patients with medically intractable ascites. The more commonly reported complications occur with an incidence of 20-50%. Rare and problematic complications are becoming increasingly frequent.

Palliative Treatment of Malignant Refractory Ascites by Positioning of Denver Peritoneovenous Shunt
, 2002 Malignant ascites is relatively common in patients with certain types of end-stage cancer. Traditional treatments based on fluid and salt restriction and diuretic therapy often are not able to contain neoplastic ascites.

Management of portal hypertension and ascites in polycystic liver disease
Liver International, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2024-2033, November 2019., 2019 Abstract Patients suffering from polycystic liver disease may develop Hepatic Venous Outflow Obstruction, Portal Vein Obstruction and/or Inferior Caval Vein Syndrome because of cystic mass effect. This can cause portal hypertension, leading to ascites, variceal haemorrhage or splenomegaly.

PARPi Combining Nanoparticle LIN28B siRNA for the Management of Malignant Ascites
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.This study demonstrates that co‐inhibition of LIN28B and PARP using siLin28b/DSSP@lip‐PEG‐FA nanoparticles in combination with the PARP inhibitor BMN673 effectively suppresses the accumulation of malignant ascites associated with advanced cancers.

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2026.Cell‐free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy had lower mortality and in‐hospital costs than paracentesis in metastatic cancer, particularly in males, patients with serum albumin ≤ 2.5 g/dL, and those with non‐gastrointestinal cancer. ABSTRACT Background Paracentesis temporarily relieves malignant ascites but causes hypoalbuminemia.

Case Reports in Transplantation, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Chyle leaks may occur as a result of surgical intervention. Chyloperitoneum, or chylous ascites after liver transplantation, is rare and the development of chylothorax after abdominal surgery is even more rare. With increasingly aggressive surgical resections, particularly in the retroperitoneum, the incidence of chyle leaks is expected to increase in ...

Peritoneovenous Shunt Occlusion
Annals of Surgery, 1984 Electronic pressure testing of every LeVeen valve has practically eliminated mechanical malfunction as a cause of shunt failure. Nonetheless, failures do occur and in a series of 240 cases, early or late shunt failure occurred in 29 patients. Thirty-five additional cases of failures were either referred by other physicians over a period of 6 years or ...
