Objective To explore the effect of hepatic outflow reconstruction with allograft vascular in ex-vivo liver resection and autologous liver transplantation.Method The clinical data of a patient with end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis admitted to the Organ Transplantation Center of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital in August 2019 who underwent the ex-vivo liver resection and autologous liver transplantation combined with hepatic vein reconstruction with allograft vascular were analyzed retrospectively.Results The patient, a 44-year-old female, was admitted to Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital for “pain in the right abdomen accompanied by skin and sclera yellow staining for 6⁺ months and aggravated for 20⁺ d”. When the patient was admitted, the general condition was poor, such as hyperbilirubin and hypoproteinemia. The body mass was 45 kg and the standard liver volume was 852 mL. The hydatid lesions corroded the first and second hilum of the liver, the right hepatic vein and the posterior inferior vena cava. It was difficult to reconstruct the outflow tract of the hepatic vein in vivo, and it was extremely difficult to completely remove the hydatid lesions in vivo. After admission, the patient was generally in a good condition after the PTCD treatment, then after discussion and rigorous evaluation, the ex-vivo hepatectomy combined with autologous liver transplantation was required. The operative time was 15 h and the intraoperative blood loss was approximately 2 000 mL. After the operation, the routine treatment was performed, the antiviral treatment was continued, the international standardized ratio value was monitored at 1.5–2.5, and the anti-immune rejection drugs were not needed. The patient was transferred to the general ward on the 4th day after the operation, and there were no bile leakage, bleeding, infection and other complications. the result of postoperative pathological diagnosis was the alveolar echinococcosis. The re-examination of enhanced CT on 1 week after the operation suggested that the hepatic outflow tract of allograft vascular reconstruction was unobstructed, no stenosis and no thrombosis occurred. The patient was following-up at present.Conclusions In treatment of end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis by autologous liver transplantation, reconstruction of hepatic outflow should be individualized. Allograft venous vessels could be used as ideal materials due to their advantages of matched tube diameter and length, no anti-rejection, and low risk of infection.
