Figure 1 Preoperative imaging examination and surgical procedure.
A: Preoperative enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan shows the inferior vena cava (IVC) invaded by the lesion. The black arrow indicates IVC; B: A Preoperative enhanced CT scan shows the hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) lesion located in the right posterior lobe and the caudate lobe of the liver. The black arrow indicates a hepatic AE lesion; C: Ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA) for the treatment of hepatic end-stage AE. The black arrow indicates the lesion; D: Reconstruct the hepatic IVC with artificial vessels to perform a temporary portal shunt; E: Using disease-free IVC and the umbilical vein within the ligamentum teres hepatis (LTH) to reconstruct the IVC. The black arrow indicates the umbilical vein within the LTH; F: Using disease-free IVC and part of the portal vein (PV) to reconstruct the IVC. The black arrow indicates the PV; G: The IVC was replanted back into the abdominal cavity after complex reconstruction; H: After meticulous dissection, the left lateral lobes were replanted back into the abdominal cavity.
