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.

Invasion of tumor in the liver requires surgical interventions that may reduce the effects or may eliminate the tumor-affected cells. The renewal of the hepatic vein and inferior vena cava has enabled most specialized oncologists and medical specialists to use advanced diagnostic methods in the treatment of the liver tumors. Liver resection has prolonged the lives of many patients and the invention of live donor organ transplants has effectively enabled the use of liver resection in most cancer centers across the world. By reviewing data from 10 articles, 21 surgical analyses were investigated and analyzed for the risks involved in the applications of reconstructions of hepatic vein and inferior vena cava in the surgical liver resection. The postoperative complications and the indications of reconstructions were mentioned. The results indicated that with these surgical procedures, complications are still involved but may be successful for particular patients.

ABSTRACT Inferior vena cava (IVC) involvement in retroperitoneal malignancies is a rare occurrence and radical surgery with major vascular resection represents the only potential curative treatment. IVC replacement after resection is still controversial and only small series and few prospective data are available. We report a series of three patients affected by retroperitoneal masses involving IVC treated with vena cava resection without replacement. All patients were treated by a radical R0 surgical procedure associated with infrarenal IVC resection and no reconstruction. Based on preoperative radiologic imaging and intraoperative findings, one patient also underwent right nephrectomy, while another patient underwent left renal vein ligation without nephrectomy. Neither early nor late severe post-operative complications related to the absence of IVC outflow were observed. Resection without replacement of the infrarenal IVC results in acceptable morbidity, thus specific risks related to the use of prosthetic grafts can be avoided.
