Comparative StudyConcomitant hepatic artery resection for advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: a case-control study with propensity score matching.
Whether concomitant hepatic artery resection (HAR) improves the prognosis for advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to compare short- and long-term surgical results of HAR versus standard resection (SR) for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma using propensity score matching. ⋯ Despite being a demanding procedure, concomitant HAR appears feasible for selected patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.
