ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Ex vivo liver resection and auto-transplantation (ELRA) can better realize the radical resection of end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) with severely compromised hepatocaval confluences, and the reconstruction of the affected vessels.
Research motivation
There are no clear consensus has been reached on the strategy for retrohepatic inferior vena cava (RHIVC) reconstruction in ELRA.
Research objectives
To provide a strategy of RHIVC reconstruction for end-stage hepatic AE patients with hepatocaval confluence infiltration.
Research methods
The clinical data of 114 patients, including the operation time, anhepatic phase, intraoperative blood loss, complications and postoperative hospital stay, were analyzed and the patients were routinely followed up.
Research results
We found a lower survival rate in group C (resection without reconstruction method) than in groups A (self-suture repairing method) and B (replacement method). Also, the complications rate was higher in group C.
Research conclusions
The RHIVC reconstruction methods should be selected appropriately depending on the defect degree of AE lesions in IVC lumen.
Research perspectives
Our strategies can serve as a reference for IVC reconstruction in liver transplantation.
