Introduction Hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) is a well-recognized complication of liver transplantation (LT). HAT is an important risk factor for infectious, in particular hepatic abscess, which can cause graft loss and increasing morbidity and mortality. Case Report We present a case report of complicated LT in a 52-year-old Caucasian man with primary sclerosing cholangitis. In 2007 the patient was included on the waiting list in Padua for LT. In 2012 the patient underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage for bile duct stricture, complicated with acute pancreatitis. A diagnostic laparoscopy was performed with choledochotomy and Kehr's T tube drainage. On February 14, 2012, the patient underwent LT with arterial reconstruction and choledochojejunostomy. The postoperative course was complicated with HAT, multiple liver abscesses, and sepsis associated with bacteremia due to Enterococcus faecium despite massive intravenous antibiotic therapy and percutaneous drainages. On November 28, 2012, the patient underwent retransplantation. Four years after transplantation the patient is still in good general condition. Conclusion Hepatic abscess formation secondary to HAT following LT is a major complication associated with important morbidity and mortality. In selected cases retransplantation should be considered as our case demonstrates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Herein we aim to study, through the review of a prospectively maintained database, age influence on treatment of patients undergoing surgery for HC. B Results: b 63 patients were treated: G1 included 42 patients, G2 21. 56 patients required major hepatectomy, 7 common bile duct resection. [Extracted from the article]

Therefore some patients who underwent liver transplantation (LT) for HCC are eventually diagnosed with cHCC-CC. In this study we aim to evaluate incidence, characteristics, preoperative treatments and post-transplant outcome of patients who underwent LT for incidental cHCC-CC. [Extracted from the article]

B Background: b Prognosis of patients with Breast Cancer Liver metastases (BCLMs) is dismal. B Results: b Thirty-four patients presented with 60 nodules with median number of nodules of 1 per patient (range 1-6). Patients may benefit from locoregional therapy as a part of a multi-modal treatment. [Extracted from the article]
