Abstract
- Resection of biliary tract malignancies may require resection of the hepatic vasculature. While immediate revascularization of the liver is necessary, reconstruction is difficult when the original vessels are unavailable. We document a case in which a segment of the common hepatic artery was excised during tumor resection and the remaining proximal vessel displayed intima dissection. A greater saphenous vein was placed as a bridge between the remaining left hepatic artery and gastroduodenal artery for successful revascularization.
