Background/Aim: Inferior vena cava (IVC) resection and reconstruction with concomitant liver resection sometimes represent the only chance for patients with liver tumors involving the IVC to get cured. However, surgical outcomes of liver resection with IVC resection and reconstruction using an artificial vascular graft have not been well investigated. Methods: Out of a total of 1,179 cases, only 12 involving liver resection between 1998 and 2016 at our institution included IVC resection and reconstruction using an artificial vascular graft. An expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft was used for the IVC reconstruction in all 12 cases. We investigated the surgical outcomes of these combined surgeries. Results: The median operative time was 650 min and the median blood loss was 2,600 mL. Postoperative complications (≥ grade III in the Clavien-Dindo classification) developed in 2 patients – 1 case of bleeding and one of bile leakage. There were no cases of operative mortality. No complications associated with the vascular graft were observed throughout the postoperative follow-up period, and the grafts remained patent in all cases. Conclusions: These results indicate favorable surgical outcomes of liver resection combined with IVC resection and reconstruction.

Background and Aims: Patients with liver tumors involving the inferior vena cava have a poor outcome without surgery. Liver resection en bloc with inferior vena cava resection and reconstruction is now performed in many centers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of inferior vena cava reconstruction during hepatic resection. Materials and Methods: A review of 12 centers reporting 240 patients with combined hepatectomy and inferior vena cava resection and reconstruction for malignant tumors was performed. Sample size, patient characteristics, histological type of the tumor, method of reconstruction, complications, and long-term survival (1-, 2-, and 5-year survival) were evaluated. Results: A total of 240 patients from 12 institutions (male 58%) with mean age 54 years underwent combined liver resection and inferior vena cava resection and reconstruction for colorectal liver metastases (43%), cholangiocarcinomas (26%), hepatocellular carcinomas (19%), leiomyosarcomas (4%), and other tumors (7.9%). Reconstruction included primary closure (35.8%), patch repair (13.3%), or interposition graft (50.8%) In-hospital mortality was 6.25% and overall morbidity was 42.1%. 1- and 10-year survival rates were 79.7% and 28.9%, respectively. Conclusion: Tumors arising in or extending to inferior vena cava that require liver resection should be considered for surgery as it can be performed with an acceptable mortality and morbidity in centers with liver transplantation and hepato-pancreato-biliary facilities.
