Communicating Veins Between Adjacent Hepatic Veins: an Intra-operative Ultrasound Study

NCT00960609 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2009-08-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The search for communicating veins (CVs) between adjacent hepatic veins (HVs) has drawn its rationale from living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Parenchymal sparing procedures although HVs are resected suggest that probably their presence is underestimated.

Taking profit from new improvements in ultrasound technology the investigators aim to better estimate the rate of CVs in a consecutive series of patients in whom resection of one HV at caval confluence is needed.
