Is It Possible To Predict PHLF? - Retrospective Analysis of Gadoxetate MRI Prior To Major Liver Resection
Post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is one of the most severe complications after liver re-section. Preoperative evaluation of liver function is complicated and imprecise. The volume and function needed for each individual patient is unknown and the methods used for evaluation are uncertain. Preoperative MRI with Gadolinium may give dynamic information regarding liver function correlating with postoperative liver failure. A retrospective analysis will be performed regarding this topic.
• Patients who have had a Primovist MRI within 8 weeks before hemihepatectomy or extended hemi-hepatectomy +/- bile duct anastomosis independent of diagnosis.
• Patients with cirrhosis who have had a Primovist MRI within 8 weeks before resection of more than one liver segment
• Patients who had liver volume augmentation with a pre-operative Primovist MRI less than 2 weeks before resection
• Patients who have had a Primovist MRI within 6 weeks be-fore any liver resection where PHLF or death within 90 days occurred.
