Background: Total vascular exclusion (TVE) with liver hypothermic perfusion under venovenous bypass (VVB) is usually needed to perform hepatectomy with Inferior vena cava and hepatic veins resection-reconstruction. An alternative technique is represented by liver resection under intermittent pedicular clamping, IVC total clamping and VVB, without cold perfusion and liver outflow drainage through the VVB. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The patient is a 60-year-old woman with past medical history of right hepatectomy for leiomyosarcoma 14 years previously.
