| pubmed-article:165737 | pubmed:abstractText | The high operative mortality of major hepatic resection for tumor can be improved by a technic of resection using complete vascular isolation and hypothermic perfusion of the liver. Complete clamping of the portal vein, vena cava, and hepatic artery was necessary and well tolerated. Major physiologic, biochemical, and coagulation changes, however, can occur with this technic that requires close monitoring by the anesthesiologist. With astute observation and prompt corrective measures when indicated, these changes can be minimized to enable a safe and smooth resection to be carried out. | lld:pubmed |
