Large vein allografts are suitable for middle hepatic (MHV) reconstruction, but their supply is often limited. Although polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts unlimitedly available, long-term patency relatively poor. We intended to enhance the clinical usability of PTFE MHV reconstruction during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Two sequential studies were performed. First, implanted as inferior vena cava replacements into dogs. Second, in a 1-year prospective trial 262 adults...

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is known to be frequently associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). Although treatment and prophylaxis strategies for VTE in PC patients were updated recently, these mainly based on data from Western populations not verified East Asian ethnic populations. We investigated the clinical characteristics of patients. reviewed electronic medical records (EMR) 1334 diagnosed pancreatic adenocarcinoma 2005 2010 at single tertiary hospital Korea. All newly classified by...
To predict survival time of Korean hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients using multi-center data as a foundation for the development predictive artificial intelligence model according to treatment methods based on machine learning.Data who underwent HCC from 2008 2015 was provided by Liver Cancer Study Group and Korea Central Registry. A total 10,742 with were divided into two groups, I (2920 patients) confirmed biopsy II (5562 diagnosed diagnostic criteria outlined in Association...
In total portosplenomesenteric thrombosis patients, cavoportal hemitransposition (CPHT) is indicated but rarely applicable for adult-to-adult (A-to-A) living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) because partial graft requires splanchno-portal inflow regeneration. If intra- & peri-pancreatic collaterals draining into pericholedochal varix were present, may provide splanchnic blood flow to the transplanted and also relieve recipient's portal hypertension. To date, however, there no successful...
Background Patent portal vein (PV) and adequate inflow is essential for successful living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). In extensive thrombosis (PVT) patients, however, complete PV thrombectomy not feasible particularly at intrapancreatic portion, subsequently flow steal through preexisting sizable collaterals or rethrombosis can occur. To overcome those problems, we introduced interruption of intraoperative cine-portogram (IOP), which useful diagnosis treatment residual PVT...
Secure reconstruction of the right hepatic vein (RHV) is essential for successful implantation a liver graft during living donor transplantation (LDLT). To develop reliable surgical techniques RHV reconstruction, we performed 3 concurrent studies: simulation study using fluid dynamics experimental model and computational model; an observational analyzing hemodynamic changes radiological interventions stenosis; prospective clinical establishing hemodynamics-compliant techniques. The...
