Background: We sought a diagnostic tool using perioperative variables that might predict post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF).
Patients And Methods: In 68 patients undergoing major hepatectomy, data on inflammatory markers and coagulation factors were prospectively collected and were compared between patients with International Study Group of Liver Surgery definition grade B/C PHLF (LF group) and those without LF (non-LF group).
Results: Preoperatively, the LF group (n=9; 13.2%) had a lower platelet count and a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motifs 13 (ADAMTS13) activity and a higher prothrombin time-International Normalized Ratio (PT-INR) than the non-LF group. On postoperative day 1, the LF group had significantly higher serum interleukin 6 (IL6), C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), and IL10 levels than the non-LF group. The logistic regression model that included preoperative PT-INR and CCL2 on postoperative day 1 predicted grade B/C PHLF with 100% sensitivity and 89.8% specificity.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the combination of preoperative PT-INR and CCL2 on postoperative day 1 can predict PHLF earlier and precisely after major hepatectomy.

Rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) due to an isolated type II endoleak (TIIEL) is rarely reported, accounting for less than 1% of all TIIELs; typically, rupture associated with TIIEL is accompanied by type I or type III endoleaks. We report a case of ruptured AAA secondary to TIIEL without any other types of endoleaks, occurring late after endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR). A 77-year-old man with a history of EVAR 11 years earlier presented with abdominal pain.

Objective: Patients receiving anticoagulation therapy develop intracerebral hematomas, which are difficult to evacuate during endoscopic surgery. Insufficient thrombin activation results in the gradual conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, forming dense fibrin bands (FBs) that harden the hematoma. We aimed to investigate the factors contributing to hematoma hardness.

Introduction: There is no consensus on the dose of heparin to be used intraoperatively in cardiac myxomas, so the goal of this study was to look into the differences in the clinical effects on the perioperative period of patients with cardiac myxomas when different doses of heparin were used intraoperatively.
Methods And Analysis: 70 patients who had cardiac myxomas excision via cardiopulmonary bypass between January 2024 and July 2024. The 70 patients were separated into two groups based on the heparin dose administered prior to cardiopulmonary bypass heparinization.

Background: Macrotrabecular-massive hepatocellular carcinoma (MTM-HCC) is highly aggressive. Comparing the diagnosis ability of CT and gadoxetate disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA) MRI for MTM-HCC are lacking.
Purpose: To compare the performance of Gd-EOB-DTPA MRI and CT for differentiating MTM-HCC from non-MTM-HCC, and determine the prognostic indicator.

Background: Factor VII (FVII) deficiency is characterized by normal activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prolonged prothrombin time (PT) values. It is diagnosed by determining protein level and coagulation activity (FVII:C). FVII:C measurements are expensive and time consuming.
