Concurrent bile duct resection versus concomitant thrombectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma associated with bile duct tumor thrombus: a propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with bile duct tumor thrombus (BDTT) is uncommon in clinical practice. Surgical resection can achieve better survival than non-operative palliative treatments. However, there is great controversy regarding the optimal surgical modality, particularly regarding the approach to remove BDTT in patients with HCC with macroscopic BDTT.

Methods

Data from consecutive patients who underwent radical surgery for HCC and macroscopic BDTT at the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital and Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2009 to December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. The survival outcomes of patients who underwent hepatectomy combined with extrahepatic bile duct resection (the EBDR group) were compared with those of patient
