Therapeutic results of Denver percutaneous peritoneovenous shunt in cancer patients with malignant ascites
Conclusions: The Denver shunt for malignant ascites is useful for improving patients' quality of life if the indications are selected properly. Drainage of intraoperative ascites was a risk factor for postoperative complications after the Denver shunt technique in cancer patients with malignant ascites. Further experience and discussion are necessary to establish the patient selection criteria.
