Background: The anterior approach (AA) technique has been reported to provide better operative and survival outcomes compared with the conventional approach for large right hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resection. However, this technique runs the risk of massive retrograde bleeding from the right hepatic vein or middle hepatic vein at the deeper plane of parenchymal transection. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of AA combined with infrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) clamping on the perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing right hepatic resection for large HCC in randomized clinical trial settings.
Methods: A total of 101 patients undergoing right hepatic resection for large HCC were randomized to receive AA combined with infrahepatic IVC clamping (group A, n = 50), or AA alone (group B, n = 51).
Results: The total blood loss (423 ± 154 vs 757 ± 338 mL; P = 0.001), blood loss during liver transection (272 ± 96 vs 563 ± 144 mL; P = 0.001), and intraoperative blood transfusion requirements (12.0% vs 29.4%; P = 0.031) were significantly less in group A patients compared with group B patients. There was no IVC clamping-associated morbidity in group A.
Conclusion: AA combined with infrahepatic IVC clamping for large right HCC resection is a safe, feasible, and effective technique in reducing intraoperative blood loss.

Background Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) dysfunction in patients with liver cirrhosis and recurrent symptoms of portal hypertension is primarily assessed with US and confirmed with invasive catheter venography, which can be used to measure the portosystemic pressure gradient (PSPG) to identify TIPS-refractory portal hypertension. To avoid the risks and costs of invasive catheter venography, noninvasive PSPG evaluation strategies are needed. Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of the combination of four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for noninvasive PSPG assessment in participants with cirrhosis and TIPS.

Background: Renal cell carcinomas are the most common form of kidney cancer in adults. In addition to metastasizing in lungs, soft tissues, bones, and the liver, it also spreads locally. In 2-10% of patients, it causes a thrombus in the renal or inferior vena cava vein; in 1% of patients thrombus reaches the right atrium.

Inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma (IVCL) is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor. Surgical treatment is a challenge because it must combine free surgical margins with vascular reconstruction, using prosthetic or autologous grafts, primary suture, or simple ligation without vein reconstruction. The ligation option is possible thanks to the slow growth of the tumor, allowing collateral venous circulation to develop.
