From: Usefulness of artificial vascular graft for venous reconstruction in liver surgery
Preoperative enhanced computed tomography and reconstructed three-dimensional computed tomography. (A) Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: tumor invasion of the inferior vena cava was suspected (patient 2). (B) Hepatocellular carcinoma: tumor invasion of the vein (V3) was suspected (patient 4). (C) Hepatocellular carcinoma: the left hepatic vein diverged to confluent V2 and V3 near the root and V3 was compressed by the tumor over a 3 cm length (patient 4). IVC, inferior vena cava; MHV, middle hepatic vein.
