Background

Elective liver resection (LR) in Jehovah’s Witness (JW) patients, for whom transfusion is not an option, involves complex ethical and medical issues and surgical difficulties.

Methods

Consecutive data from a LR program for liver tumors in JWs performed between 2014 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. A systematic review of the literature with a pooled analysis was performed.

Results

Ten patients were included (median age = 61 years). None needed preoperative erythropoietin. Tumor biopsy was not performed. Major hepatectomy was performed in 4 patients. The median estimated blood loss was 200 mL. A cell-saver was installed in 2 patients, none received saved blood. The median hemoglobin values before and at the end of surgery were 13.4 g/dL and 12.6 g/dL, respectively (p = 0.04). Nine complications occurred in 4 patients, but no postoperative hemorrhage occurred. In-hospital mortality was nil. Nine studies including 35 patients were identified in the literature; there was reported no mortality and low morbidity. None of the patients were transfused.

Conclusions

By using a variety of blood conservation techniques, the risk/benefit ratio of elective liver resection for liver was maintained in selected adult JW patients. JW faith should not constitute an absolute exclusion from hepatectomy.  相似文献

Background

The impact of intraoperative blood transfusion (IBT) on outcomes following intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) resection remains to be ascertained.

Methods

All consecutive IHCC resected were analyzed. A first cohort (n = 569) was used for investigating short-term outcomes (morbidity and mortality). A second cohort (n = 522) excluding patients dead within 90 days of surgery was analyzed for exploring overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS). Patients who received IBT were compared to those who did not, after using a propensity score matching (PSM) method.

Results

Among 569 patients, 90-day morbidity and mortality rates were 47% (n = 269) and 8% (n = 47). After PSM, 208 patients were matched. There was an association between IBT and increased overall morbidity and severe morbidity (p = 0.010). However, IBT did not impact 90-day mortality rate (p > 0.999). Regarding long-term outcomes analysis in the second cohort (n = 522), 5-year OS and DFS rates were 39% and 25%. Using PSM, 196 patients were matched and no association between IBT and OS or DFS was found (p = 0.333 and p = 0.491).

Conclusions

IBT is associated with an increased risk of morbidity but does not impact on long-term outcomes. Need for IBT should be considered as a surrogate of advanced disease requiring complex resection. Still, restricted transfusion policy should remain advocated for IHCC resection.  相似文献

Background

Portal hypertension (PHTN) increases the risk of non-hepatic surgery in cirrhotic patients. This first systematic review analyzes the place of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in preparation for non-hepatic surgery in such patients.

Methods

Medline, EMBASE, and Scopus databases were searched from 1990 to 2017 to identify reports on outcomes of non-hepatic surgery in cirrhotic patients with PHTN prepared by TIPS. Feasibility of TIPS and the planned surgery, and the short- and long-term outcomes of the latter were assessed.

Results

Nineteen studies (64 patients) were selected. TIPS was indicated for past history of variceal bleeding and/or ascites in 22 (34%) and 33 (52%) patients, respectively. The planned surgery was gastrointestinal tract cancer in 38 (59%) patients, benign digestive or pelvic surgery in 21 (33%) patients and others in 4 (6%) patients. The TIPS procedure was successful in all, with a nil mortality rate. All patients could be operated within a median delay of 30 days from TIPS (mortality rate?=?8%; overall morbidity rate?=?59.4%). One year overall survival was 80%.

Conclusions

TIPS allows non-hepatic surgery in cirrhotic patients deemed non operable due to PHTN. Further evidence in larger cohort of patients is essential for wider applicability.  相似文献

Background

Elderly recipients are frequently discussed by the scientific community but objective indication for this parameter has been provided. The aim of this study was to synthesize the available evidence on liver transplantation for elderly patients to assess graft and patient survival.

Methods

A literature search of the Medline, EMBASE, and Scopus databases was carried out from January 2000 to August 2018. Clinical studies comparing the outcomes of liver transplantation in adult younger (<65 years) and elderly (>65 years) populations were analyzed. The primary outcomes were patient mortality and graft loss rates. This review was registered (Number CRD42017058261) as required in the international prospective register for systematic review protocols (PROSPERO).

Results

Twenty-two studies were included involving a total of 242,487 patients (elderly: 23,660 and young: 218,827) were included in this study. In the meta-analysis, the elderly group had patient mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.97–1.63; P = 0.09; I2 = 48%) and graft (HR: 1.09; 95% CI: 0.81–1.47; P = 0.59; I2 = 12%) loss rates comparable to those in the young group.

Conclusions

Elderly patients have similar long-term survival and graft loss rates as young patients. Liver transplantation is an acceptable and safe curative option for elderly transplant candidates.  相似文献

Background

There are two philosophical approaches to planning liver resection for malignancy: one strives towards zero postoperative mortality by stringent selection of candidates, thus inherently limiting patients selected; the other, accepts a low yet definite postoperative mortality rate, and offers surgery to all those with potential gain in survival. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyse an alternative and evolving strategy, and its impact on short-term outcomes.

Method

3118 consecutive hepatectomies performed in 2627 patients over 3 decades (1980–2011) were analysed. Patient demographics, tumour characteristics, operative details, and postoperative outcomes were analysed.

Results

1528 patients (58%) were male. Colorectal liver metastases (1221 patients, 47%) and hepatocellular carcinoma (584 patients, 22%) were the most common diagnoses. Anatomical resections were performed in 2045 (66%), some form of vascular clamping was used in 2385 (72%), and blood transfusion was required in 1130 (36%) patients. Use of preoperative techniques to increase feasibility and safety of complex liver resections allowed expansion of indications to include sicker patients with larger tumours in the later period of the study. Overall morbidity and mortality rates were 31% and 3% respectively. During the first vs. second half of the study period the postoperative morbidity and mortality were 19% vs. 36% (p < 0.001) and 2% vs. 4% (p = 0.006) respectively.

Conclusion

With increasing experience, more patients were accepted for complex hepatectomies. However, there was a definite yet contained increase in postoperative morbidity and mortality.  相似文献

Objective

This was a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare outcomes between patients undergoing simultaneous or delayed hepatectomy for synchronous colorectal liver metastases.

Background

The optimal strategy for treating liver disease among patients with resectable synchronous colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is unclear. Simultaneous resection of primary tumour and liver metastases may improve patient experience by reducing the number of interventions. However, there are concerns of increased morbidity compared to delayed resections.

Methods

A systematic literature search was performed using EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane library and Google scholar databases. Meta-analyses were performed using both random-effects and fixed-effect models. Publication and patient selection bias were assessed with funnel plots and sensitivity analysis.

Results

Thirty studies including 5300 patients were identified. There were no statistically significant differences in parameters relating to safety and efficacy between the simultaneous and delayed hepatectomy cohorts. Patients undergoing delayed surgery were more likely to have bilobar disease or undergo major hepatectomy. The average length of hospital stay was six days shorter with simultaneous approach [MD = ?6.27 (95% CI: ?8.20, ?4.34), p < 0.001]. Long term survival was similar for the two approaches [HR = 0.97 (95%CI: 0.88, 1.08), p = 0.601].

Conclusion

In selected patients, simultaneous resection of liver metastases with colorectal resection is associated with shorter hospital stay compared to delayed resections, without adversely affecting perioperative morbidity or long-term survival.  相似文献

Aim

The benefit of prophylactic drainage after uncomplicated hepatectomy remains controversial. The aim of this study was to update the existing evidence on the role of prophylactic drainage following uncomplicated liver resection.

Methods

Cochrane, Medline (Pubmed), and Embase were searched. The Medline search strategy was adopted for all other databases. A grey literature search was performed. Meta-analyses were performed with Review Manager 5.3. Primary outcomes were mortality and ascitic leak, secondary outcomes were infected intra-abdominal collection, chest infection, wound infection of the surgical incision, biliary fistula, and length of stay.

Results

The incidence of ascitic leak was higher in the drained group (Odds Ratio = 3.33 [95% Confidence Interval: 1.66–5.28]). Infected intra-abdominal collections, wound infections, chest infections, biliary fistula, length of stay and mortality were not statistically different between groups.

Conclusions

The routine utilisation of drains after elective uncomplicated liver resection does not translate into a lower incidence of postoperative complications. Therefore, based on the current available evidence, routine abdominal drainage is not recommended in elective uncomplicated hepatectomy.  相似文献

BackgroundSome patients remain deemed unsuitable for resection after portal vein embolization (PVE) because of insufficient hypertrophy of the future remnant liver (FRL). Hepatic and portal vein embolization (HPVE) has been shown to induce hypertrophy of the FRL. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review of the available literature on HPVE as preparation for major hepatectomy.MethodsThe literature search was performed on online databases. Studies including patients who underwent preoperative HPVE were retrieved for evaluation.ResultsSix articles including 68 patients were published between 2003 and 2017. HPVE was performed successfully in all patients with no mortality and morbidity-related procedures. The degree of hypertrophy of the FRL after HPVE ranged from 33% to 63.3%. Surgical resection after preoperative HPVE could be performed in 85.3% of patients, but 14.7% remained unsuitable for resection because of insufficient hypertrophy of the FRL or tumor progression. Posthepatectomy morbidity and mortality rates were 10.3% and 5.1%, respectively. The postoperative liver failure rate was nil.ConclusionHPVE as a preparation for major hepatectomy appears to be feasible and safe and could increase the resectability of patients initially deemed unsuitable for resection because of absent or insufficient hypertrophy of the FRL after PVE alone.  相似文献

Background

Limited studies reported the rate and clinical impact of peridevice leaks (PDL) after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC).

Methods

All consecutive patients with a nonvalvular atrial fibrillation admitted for LAAC between November 2011 and October 2016 were prospectively enrolled. The follow-up included clinical, transesophageal echocardiography, and/or cardiac computed tomography angiogram (CCTA). PDL was defined by the presence of contrast within the left atrial appendage on CCTA, and Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE) included stroke, device-related thrombosis, and cardiovascular death.

Results

Overall, 77 patients (mean CHA2DS2-VASc score = 4.4 ± 1.5 and mean HAS-BLED = 3.4 ± 1.1) were implanted using Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (n = 24), Amulet (n = 37), or Watchman devices (n = 16). Indications were stroke recurrence despite adequate oral anticoagulation (OAC, n = 6) or contraindication to long-term OAC (n = 71). From 3-month to 12-month CCTA follow-up, the PDL rate decreased from 68.5% to 56.7% (P = 0.02), without any difference between the various devices. Patients with PDL were more often in permanent atrial fibrillation, and had a larger landing zone diameter, a lower ratio of device compression, and a more frequent off-axis position of the device. A device compression ratio < 10% was the only parameter associated with PDL occurrence. During follow-up (median 236 days) the MACE rate was 9.1%, with no statistically significant difference between patients with vs without PDL (12% vs 4.3%, P = 0.3).

Conclusions

The PDL rate detected by CCTA after LAAC was high, especially in cases with a low device compression ratio (< 10%), but decreased over time. The incidence of MACE was quantitatively greater with PDL, but the difference was not statistically significant. Larger studies are needed to determine the clinical importance of PDL.  相似文献

Background/Purpose

Preoperative selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) may improve the results of partial hepatectomy (PH) or radiofrequency destruction (RF) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of this combined approach.

Methods

Patients with cirrhosis and HCC selected for PH or RF were prospectively included and systematically proposed for preoperative SIRT. Feasibility and safety of SIRT and post-SIRT PH or RF were assessed.

Results

Thirty patients were included. SIRT was contraindicated in seven, due to lack of access to tumour artery or to hepato-pulmonary shunts. SIRT was performed in 23 patients without significant complications. Post-SIRT, surgery was refuted in seven patients, due to tumour progression or the patient's deteriorating condition. After surgery, major complications were observed in 2/16 patients (12.5%) and one patient died 52 days post-surgery. A major tumour pathological response was seen in most patients who underwent surgery after SIRT.

Conclusions

On intention-to-treat basis, the overall feasibility of combining preoperative SIRT and surgery was limited. Preoperative SIRT did not increase expected operative morbidity, but post-SIRT, a third of patients were refuted for surgery. Accurate selection criteria and potential long-term oncological benefit of this approach remains to be determined.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01686880.  相似文献

BackgroundThis study evaluates the impact of macrovascular venous invasion (MVI) on surgical and survival outcomes of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed data of 125 patients operated for PNETs. Operative, pathological,and survival outcomes were compared between PNETs with and without MVI.ResultsMacrovascular venous invasion was detected in 25 of 125 PNETs (20%) presenting as tumour thrombi (n = 12) or venous wall invasion (n = 13). MVI was associated with larger tumours, a higher rate of lymph node involvement, less differentiated tumours, and a higher rate of perineural invasion. Resection of PNETS with MVI more often necessitated combined hepatic, venous and multivisceral resections, had a higher rate of intraoperative blood transfusion (p = 0.04) but similar morbidity (44% vs. 42%) and mortality (0 vs. 1%) as PNETs without MVI. PNETs with MVI had a lower median overall survival rate (60 vs. 149 months; p = 0.03). Multivariate analysis revealed that PNETs of the pancreatic head, synchronous liver metastases and higher tumour grade were prognostic factors for overall survival.ConclusionsMVI is found in more advanced PNETs. Resection of PNETs with MVI is characterized by increased transfusion rate and reduced overall survival.  相似文献
