Abstract Background & Aims To assess the efficacy of functional MR image with volumetric, liver function test and indocyanine green clearance (ICG) in identifying patients who are at risk post‐hepatectomy failure (PHLF). Methods We retrospectively included 115 undergoing gadoxetic acid‐enhanced imaging before hepatectomy one medical centre from January 2013 to December 2015. Contrast enhancement ratio (CER) between transitional hepatobiliary phases (3 30 minutes post‐contrast) was...

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy Yttrium-90 radioembolization using in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: From 2017 2021, 32 patients with carcinoma, mean tumor diameter about 7cm (21 males, 11 females; median age, 57.5 years age), treated resin microspheres were reviewed at pre-Yttrium-90 post-Yttrium-90 follow-up. Tumor response assessed according modified Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors. Outcomes including overall survival...
Optimal portal flow is one of the essentials in adequate liver function, graft regeneration and outcome after right lobe adult living donor transplantation (ALDLT). The relations among factors that cause sufficient are still unclear. aim this study to evaluate potential predisposing encourage ALDLT. population consisted ALDLT recipients from Chang Gung Memorial Hospital-Kaohsiung Medical Center, Taiwan. records, preoperative images, postoperative Doppler ultrasound evaluation computed...
Cancer is one of the common diseases. Quantitative biomarkers extracted from standard-of-care computed tomography (CT) scan can create a robust clinical decision tool for diagnosis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). According to current methods, situation usually accounts high expenditure time and resources. To improve therapeutic procedure, this paper proposes deep learning-based approach, called Successive Encoder-Decoder (SED), assist in automatic interpretation liver lesion/tumor...
This study proposes a bile duct stent based on indirect 3D printing technology. Four ratio materials were synthesized from lactic acid (LA) and glycolide (GA) monomers by melt polymerization: PLA, PLGA (70:30), (50:50), (30:70). The four kinds of material powders preliminarily degraded, the appearance was observed with an optical microscope (OM) camera. weight changed significantly after weeks degradation, which met conditions for to be degraded within 4-6 weeks. Among them, (50:50) lost...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility P4 stump stenting approach for treating portal vein (PV) complications in pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Background: PV cause significant morbidity and mortality LDLT. Biliary atresia backdrop pathological hypoplasia sclerosis heightens complexity reconstruction. authors developed a novel intraoperative via graft segment 4 (P4 stump) address challenge. Methods: From April 2009 December 2016, 15 LDLT recipients...
Splenic vein thrombosis with gastric variceal bleeding is difficult to manage, and splenectomy may be necessary stop bleeding. The authors report the case of a post–orthotopic liver transplant patient varices secondary splenic treated by partial artery embolization. Successful embolization was performed via transcatheter approach depositing Gianturco coils into intrasplenic resulting in immediate cessation No recurrence noted postembolization. In conclusion, can used as treatment for...
To describe the radiological findings of a macro-regenerative nodule (MRN) in liver pre-transplantation biliary atresia (BA) patients and to correlate it with histological findings.Between August 1990 November 2007, 144 BA underwent transplantation (LT) at our institution. The computer tomograghy (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were reviewed correlated post-transplantation pathological findings.Nine tumor lesions 7 diagnosed explanted livers. showed that all MRNs without malignant...
Abstract In living donor liver transplantation ( LDLT ), the essential aims are to provide an adequate graft volume recipient and keep a sufficient remnant in donor. some instances, these cannot be met by single using dual grafts from two donors is good solution. From 2002 2009, five recipients our hospital received . Two one right lobe left grafts; other three grafts. The mean final regeneration rate was 91.2%. Left atrophy long term observed who initial bigger all noted have better than...
Purpose: To evaluate treatment response, survival and safety of a novel TACE using combination ethanol-Lipiodol mixture drug-eluting beads in patients with large unresectable HCC, single tumor >8 cm or multiple tumors the largest diameter >5 total >10 cm.Patients Methods: Between June 2016 February 2020, 27 were enrolled this retrospective cohort study.Treatment response was assessed at first month after treatment; progression-free (PFS) overall (OS) evaluated.The prognostic factors...
A 2-year-old Chinese boy with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type II–related end-stage liver disease underwent living donor transplantation (LDLT) using a left lateral segment graft from his mother. Preoperative computed tomography angiography showed that the hepatic artery, inferior vena cava, and portal vein were patent. The of was connected to recipient's right anterior vein. veins triple venoplasty. artery artery. duct common microsurgical technique. After operation,...
