“…Mattei et al stated that an aberrant hepatic artery was present in 35% (9/26) of their SI patients who underwent liver transplantation (2). On the basis of our literature search of liver transplantation in SI patients after Mattei's report, the location of the hepatic artery was described in 28 cases, and an aberrant hepatic artery was present in 12 (1,(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Furthermore, based on autopsy findings of SI cases, Kitamura (19,20).…”

We present a case of visceral pseudoaneurysm with situs inversus totalis, which was treated by transcatheter embolization. A 58-year-old man with chronic pancreatitis and situs inversus totalis was admitted to our hospital for epigastric pain. On celiac arteriography, a pseudoaneurysm was detected at the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (ASPD). We catheterized the ASPD with a microcatheter introduced coaxially through a 5Fr catheter, and we isolated the pseudoaneurysm with microcoils. The patient's recovery was uneventful and he was discharged 17 days after the procedure. We describe this case because of the rarity of this anomaly, and it is important in that recognition may help avoid mishaps at interventions, particularly in the emergency setting.

The feasibility of liver transplantation (LT) in adult patients with situs inversus (SI) was demonstrated with advances in surgical techniques. However, SI is very rare, and the experience of LT in adult patients with SI is very limited. We present a case of an adult patient with SI who underwent deceased-donor LT and late retransplantation because of chronic rejection. A 42-year-old man with SI totalis who suffered from acute-on-chronic hepatic failure because of hepatitis B virus-associated liver cirrhosis and alcoholic liver disease was referred to our center and underwent successful orthotopic deceased-donor whole-liver transplantation. We used a modified piggy-back technique with cavo-cavostomy and inserted a tissue expander for mechanical support of the unstably located liver graft. The patient recovered uneventfully. At 3 years after the first LT, this patient underwent retransplantation because of chronic rejection. In the second LT, we used similar surgical techniques, but performed splenectomy to make space to accommodate the second liver graft. The patient was discharged after long hospitalization. At 5 years after the second LT, he underwent living-donor kidney transplantation because of chronic renal failure developed after the second LT. Currently, he has done well for 10 years after the first LT. In conclusion, SI is a rare anomalous condition hindering LT. Careful perioperative planning with thorough assessment of the donor and recipient livers and use of patient-tailored surgical techniques can lead to successful LT.

“…With the extensive acceptance of LT for a wide range of benign liver conditions, however, the impact of LT on hepatolithiasis remains dimness, with extremely limited resources available in the global documents, and transplantation for hepatolithiasis was deliberately attempted and rarely described ever since 2002. To date, merely 27 cases of LT for hepatolithiasis are recorded in the global literature: Only Strong et al , Hirohashi et al , Zhang , Tang , and Chen Z.Y. have recorded 4, 1, 6, 1, and 15 cases, respectively.…”

Liver transplantation for hepatolithiasis: Is terminal hepatolithiasis suitable for liver transplantation?

Hepatolithiasis, originally as oriental cholangiohepatitis, especially prevails in Asia, but globalization and intercontinental migration have also converted the endemic disease dynamics around the world. Characterized by its high incidence of ineffective treatment and recurrence, hepatolithiasis, always, poses a therapeutic challenge to global doctors. Although the improved surgical and non-surgical techniques have evolved over the past decade, incomplete clearance and recurrence of calculi are always so common and disease-related mortality from liver failure and concurrent cholangiocarcinoma still exists in the treatment of hepatolithiasis. In the late stage of hepatolithiasis, is it suitable for liver transplantation (LT)? Herein, we propose a comprehensive review and analysis of the LTx currently in potential use to treat hepatolithiasis. In our subjective opinion, and as is objective from the literatures so far, also given the strict indications, LT remains one of the definitive treatments for terminal hepatolithiasis.
