Background. The most significant risk following major hepatectomy is postoperative liver insufficiency. Current preoperative assessment of the future remnant relies upon assumptions which may not be valid in setting advanced resection strategies. This paper reports feasibility ALIIVE technique assesses with ICG clearance intraoperatively during vascular exclusion. Methods. 10 patients undergoing planned (hemihepatectomy or greater) were recruited. Routine included CT and standardized...
Cerebral air embolism is a known complication from myriad of iatrogenic causes. This case describes 60-year-old female presenting hemodialysis with altered mental status, bilateral homonymous hemianopia, and repetitive speech. A noncontrast head CT revealed in the vein Galen deep cerebral veins left thalamus occipital sulcus, being introduced into patient via improper flushing dialysis tubing. The retrograde flow bubbles upright during was likely responsible for embolus lodging vasculature....
Graft macrosteatosis can predispose to a higher risk of graft loss so we sought redefine acceptable cutoffs for steatosis.Data 26,103 donors who underwent liver transplantation (LT) between January 2004 and December 2018 from the UNOS-STAR database were utilized. A high-risk steatotic (HRS) low-risk (LRS) defined as ≥20% <20% macrosteatosis, respectively. High-risk grafts further classified with 20-29% (G1S grafts), 30-39% (G2S ≥40% steatosis (G3S grafts). Outcomes groups compared.LRS had...
Management of gallstone pancreatitis in the vagrant liverThe liver 1 is a rare condition due to laxity or inadequate formation coronary and triangular ligaments which normally contribute its fixation has been associated with colonic redundancy hypermobility.We present case an adult patient hepato-pancreato-biliary heterotopia secondary omphalocele was repaired at birth.
A nonopaque methyl methacrylate mass that had the appearance of an abscess in a postoperative CT scan spine is described. Contained gas produced attentuation range +20 to -300 HU, with average -80 -250 HU. This finding was confirmed by examination separate cement removed from similar patient.
Lymphatic leakage is a common and well-described complication after kidney transplantation, occurring in up to 25% of patients. Accumulation lymph due the surgical disruption recipient lymphatic channels accompanying external iliac vessels, complicated by lower extremity edema, wound breakdown, infection, and, if unresolved, graft loss extrinsic compression. In this report, we describe novel use diagnostic therapeutic lymphangiography successfully treat leak renal transplant that was...
Abstract This case report describes a 52-year-old male patient, with the incidental finding of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) fragments impacted into right ventricle, secondary to IVCF fragmentation and subsequent embolization. While IVCFs are prescribed prevent pulmonary embolizations when anticoagulation is either contraindicated, or has failed, heart represent an extremely rare, but potentially life-threatening complication. Of note, at time writing, utility effectiveness not fully...
