Post-hepatectomy liver failure.

Hepatobiliary surgery and nutrition, 2014
Hepatectomies are among some of the most complex operative interventions performed. Mortality rates after major hepatectomy are as high as 30%, with post-hepatic liver failure (PHLF) representing the major source of morbidity and mortality. We present a review of PHLF, including the current definition, predictive factors, pre-operative risk assessment,

Reappraisal of Plasmapheresis as a Supportive Measure in a Patient with Hepatic Failure after Major Hepatectomy

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2007
Major resection of cirrhotic livers can result in hepatic failure, but no supportive treatment has been found to be generally effective. We successfully treated a 63-year-old woman with post-hepatectomy liver failure with plasmapheresis.

Clinical Investigation of Remnant Liver Volume-to-Body Weight Ratio in Predicting Post-hepatectomy Liver Failure in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Cirrhotic Liver

Zhongliu Fangzhi Yanjiu, 2018
Objective To explore a new cut-off of remnant liver volume-to-body weight ratio (RLV-BWR) and investigate the relationship between RLV-BWR and post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of cirrhotic liver ...

Portal vein embolization with absolute ethanol to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant

CVIR Endovascular, 2022
Background Preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE) is widely used prior to major liver resection to reduce the risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). We evaluated the efficacy and safety of PVE using absolute ethanol.
