Purpose: Hydroinfusion is a commonly used ancillary procedure during percutaneous thermal ablation of the liver that is used to separate and protect sensitive structures from the ablation zone. However, risks of hydroinfusion have not been systematically studied. The purpose of the present study was to systematically examine the frequency and severity of local and systemic complications related to hydroinfusion.

HBP. Portal vein arterialization: a salvage procedure for a totally de-arterialized liver. The Paul Brousse Hospital experience

Prashant Bhangui, Chady Salloum, Chetana Lim, Paola Andreani, Arie Ariche, René Adam, Denis Castaing, Tech Kerba and Daniel Azoulay

Background: Portal vein arterialization (PVA) has been used as a salvage inflow technique when hepatic artery (HA) reconstruction is deemed impossible in liver transplantation (LT) or hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery. Outcomes and the management of possible complications have not been well described.

HBP. Angiographic identification of extrahepatic perfusion after hepatic arterial pump placement: implications for surgical prevention

Daniel R. Perez, Nancy E. Kemeny, Karen T. Brown, Alexandra N. Gewirtz, Philip B. Paty, William R. Jarnagin and Michael I. D Angelica

Background: Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy is an effective treatment for patients with liver malignancy. Extrahepatic perfusion (EHP) after HAI pump placement requires correction prior to starting chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to define the origin of arterial branches causing EHP in order to determine if alterations in surgical technique during pump placement might prevent EHP.
