Abstract:Background
Predicting posthepatectomy liver failure (PLF) may be a critical requirement for liver disease patients undergoing hepatectomy. This study retrospectively analyzed the impact of the intraoperatively measured portal vein pressure (PVP) prior to hepatectomy on the prediction of PLF in hepatectomized patients.
Methods
A total of 334 hepatectomized patients in whom the PVP was intraoperatively measured before resection at our institution were enrolled in the present study. Outcomes were assessed accor… Show more
