Resection of retrohepatic inferior vena cava without reconstruction in ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Retrohepatic inferior vena cava (RIVC) resection without reconstruction in ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ERAT) for advanced alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) is unclear.

Methods

This is a retrospective study of consecutive patients referred to our hospital from 2014 to 2018. Depending on the presence of a rich collateral circulation and stable blood volume in ERAT, patients did not rebuild the RIVC. Then, patients were selected some appropriate revascularization techniques for the hepatic and renal veins. Finally, all ERAT procedures were completed, and short- and long-term outcomes were observed.

Results

Five advanced HAE patients underwent ERAT without RIVC reconstruction. One patient died of circulatory failure 1 day after surgery. Another four patients, with a median follow-up duration of 18 months (range, 10-25 months), demonstrated normal liver and kidney function, no thrombosis and no HAE recurrence.

Conclusions

Through the long-term results of ERAT, the pros and cons of not reconstructing the RIVC need to be re-examined. In cases with a rich collateral circulation, the RIVC cannot be reconstructed. However, in cases requiring the resection of multiple organs, RIVC without reconstruction was prudential.

Project description:IntroductionKidney and liver cysts in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) can compress the inferior vena cava (IVC), but IVC compression prevalence and its risk factors are unknown.MethodsPatients who have ADPKD (n = 216) with abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies and age-/sex-matched controls (n = 216) were evaluated for IVC compression as well as azygous vein diameter (a marker of collateral blood flow) and IVC aspect ratio (left-to-right dimension divided by anterior-to-posterior dimension with a value of 1 corresponding to a circular (high pressure) IVC caudal to compression.ResultsSevere IVC compression (≥70%) was observed in 33 (15%) ADPKD subjects and mild compression (≥50% to <70%) was observed in 33 (15%) subjects; whereas controls had no IVC compression (P < 0.001). Severe IVC compression was associated with larger azygous vein (4.0 ± 1.3 mm versus 2.3 ± 0.8 mm without IVC compression; P < 0.001) and a more circular IVC cross-section upstream (mean IVC aspect ratio: 1.16 ± 0.27 vs. 1.69 ± 0.67, P < 0.001), suggesting higher pressure upstream from the compression. IVC compression was associated with older age, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), greater height-adjusted total kidney volumes, greater height-adjusted liver volume (ht-LV), and greater liver and renal cyst fractions (P < 0.001). No subject younger than 30 years had IVC compression, but ADPKD subjects ≥40 years old had 12-fold higher risk of IVC compression (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.2-42.4), with highest predicted probability for Mayo Clinic classes 1D (59%; 95% CI: 39%-76%) and 1E (74%; 95% CI: 49%-90%) after adjustment (P < 0.001). Women with ht-LV ≥ 2000 ml/m had 83% (95% CI: 59%-95%) prevalence of IVC compression. Complications of IVC compression included deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and symptomatic hypotension.ConclusionsIVC compression is common in ADPKD patients >40 years old, with Mayo Clinic class 1D/E, and in females with ht-LV > 2000 ml/m.
