Minimum invasive associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy
Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) has gained interest, as the potential alternative to portal vein embolisation for inducing future liver remnant hypertrophy in patients at risk of post-hepatectomy liver ...

Implantation of healthy matrix-embedded endothelial cells rescues dysfunctional endothelium and ischaemic tissue in liver engraftment [PDF]
Objective: Liver transplantation is limited by ischaemic injury which promotes endothelial cell and hepatocyte dysfunction and eventually organ failure.

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

FK 506 pre-treatment is associated with reduced levels of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 6 following hepatic ischemia/reperfusion [PDF]
Using a rat model, the effect of pre-treatment with FK 506 on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury was investigated. All control animals died within 72 h of the ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Avenues of future research in homotransplantation of the liver with particular reference to hepatic supportive procedures, antilymphocyte serum, and tissue typing [PDF]
Three general areas of research which bear on the developing field of liver transplantation are reviewed. These are: (1) the prospects of obtaining better immunosuppression with particular reference to heterologous antilymphocyte serum; (2) the possible ...

Hepatectomy is an effective therapeutic strategy for many benign and malignant liver diseases, while the complexity of liver anatomy and the difficulty of operation lead to complications after hepatectomy. Among them, post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF)

Plasma Glutamine Concentrations in Liver Failure. [PDF]
Higher than normal plasma glutamine concentration at admission to an intensive care unit is associated with an unfavorable outcome. Very high plasma glutamine levels are sometimes seen in both acute and chronic liver failure.

Mortality following transarterial embolization due to hemorrhage after liver venous deprivation
Liver venous deprivation (LVD) is considered to be a safe and effective method that induces more rapid and important liver hypertrophy before major hepatectomy in comparison with portal vein embolization (PVE) alone.

Functional evaluation of hepatic parenchyma with dynamic tests (Indocyanine green and Hippurate ratio) in patients with HCC [PDF]
Our aim was to assess hepatic functionality in patients with HCC and candidate for liver resection. We used dynamic tests of liver functionality Indocyanine green (ICG) and Hippurate ratio, for the evaluation of surgical risk and postoperative clinical
