One Hundred Hepatectomies without Hospital Death under Intermittent Hepatic Inflow Clamping for 30 Minute Duration.
Temporary clamping of the hepatic inflow is routinely applied to minimize haemorrhage during liver parenchyma. In this report, we describe successful intermittent application of the hepatic inflow for 30 minutes with zero hospital death in consecutive 100 hepatectomies. ⋯ We have successfully confirmed that a cycle consisting of intermittent application of the hepatic inflow clamping yields safe hepatectomy under effective control of bleeding, when combined with use of a protease inhibitor.
