Аннотация
BACKGROUND: More than 40 years ago, patients with tumors infiltrating the confluence of the hepatic veins were deemed unresectable; however, in situ hypothermic perfusion, first described by Fortner et al. (Ann Surg 180(4):644-652, 1974), allowed resection of these tumors. In order to prevent liver ischemia after total vascular exclusion, the liver was flushed with a cooled organ preservation solution. The surgeon was able to resect the tumor and reconstruct the hepatic veins with occlusion of the hepatic inflow and outflow.
METHODS: A 55-year-old female suffering from a leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) presented to our clinic. Three years ago, the IVC was replaced with a synthetic graft. During the patient's follow-up, a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed three hepatic metastases of the sarcoma. A central metastasis in Segment 8 infiltrated the right hepatic vein (RHV), and two additional metastases were located in the left lateral segments. We used Fortner's technique to resect these tumors.
RESULTS: The postoperative course of the patient was prolonged due to a hematoma that partially compressed the new RHV graft. A re-laparotomy was performed and drains were placed. On the 15th postoperative day, the patient was discharged in good health.
CONCLUSIONS: Although nowadays patients with these unfortunate tumor locations can, to some extent, be managed non-operatively, surgery remains an option with a chance of cure. Azoulay et al. (Ann Surg 262(1):93-104, 2015) were able to show satisfactory 5-year-survival in 77 patients (30.4%), however 90-day mortality was high (19.5%). Therefore, patients need to be selected carefully. In the era of minimally invasive liver surgery, these old techniques should not vanish from the armamentarium of liver surgeons.
