Abstract:
Compression by hepatic hydatid lesions may invade the portal vein and cause cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV), which has difficulties and high risks in surgery, and conventional hepatectomy cannot achieve radical treatment. This article reviews the etiology, classification, clinical manifestations, and auxiliary examinations of hepatic echinococcosis with CTPV and summarizes the treatment strategies for this disease. It is believed that the treatment of hepatic echinococcosis with CTPV should combine the resection of hydatid lesions with the effective relief of portal hypertension, and revascularization and ex-vivo liver resection with auto-transplantation play an important role in radical resection.
