Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Regarding to patients undergoing hepatectomy,aim of the study is to investigate whether the intraoperative ICG clearance value in the future remnant liver could predict post-hepatectomy liver failure. Regarding to transplant recipients, aim of the study is to investigate whether ICG clearance measured during postoperative periods could predict liver graft outcome.

Results

Results: Of the operations performed, 87.1% were major hepatectomy. PHLF Grade B/C was observed in eight patients (25.8%) with no mortality. The concordance indices of intraoperative ICG-PDR and ICG-PDR for predicting PHLF were 0.834 (95% CI, 0.69-0.98) and 0.834 (95% CI, 0.69-0.98), respectively.
Conclusions: Intraoperative ICG clearance in the remnant liver was a promising predictor for PHLF in patients undergoing anatomical hepatectomy, especially in patients with BD.

Baseline Characteristics

Thirty-one patients were enrolled in this study between June 2016 and September 2019. The entire population had a median age of 69 years and the proportion of males was 61.3%. In 17 patients with jaundice secondary to neoplasms, preoperative biliary drainage was performed for diagnosis and to normalize liver function for surgery. The median value of total bilirubin levels prior to BD was 13.2 mg/dl. The waiting period from the primary biliary drainage to surgery was almost four weeks, and 41.1 % of the patients developed cholangitis after drainage, resulting in biliary stent replacement.

Outcome measures

The univariate analysis showed that lower prothrombin time (P = 0.0062), lower FLR/TLV (P = 0.0068) and six ICG associated variables [preoperative ICG-R15 (P = 0.04), preoperative ICG-PDR values (P = 0.03), ICG-remK (P = 0.0062), intraoperative ICG-R15 (P = 0.0055), and intraoperative ICG-PDR (P = 0.0055)] were potentially correlated with PHLF. As shown in Figure 2, patients with PHLF had significantly higher intraoperative ICG-R15 and lower intraoperative ICG-PDR than those without PHLF. The individual median value of intraoperative ICG clearance in patients with or without PHLF was 5.0 %/min (iqr, 7.8-12.3) or 15.3 %/min (iqr, 12.6-16.7) for ICG-PDR, and 20.6 % (iqr, 16.3-31.1) or 10.1% (iqr, 8.2-15.1) for ICG-R15, respectively.
