MORGANTOWN — Surgeons at WVU Drugs carried out the state’s first liver explant for tumor resection and liver autotransplant — a really uncommon process that requires a multi-disciplinary group of coronary heart and liver transplant surgeons to take care of one affected person. The process is barely out there at a small variety of tutorial medical facilities in the USA.

The affected person, Douglas “Mike” Logsdon, a 67-year-old from Hyndman, Pennsylvania, had a really uncommon type of most cancers referred to as a leiomyosarcoma. He sought take care of gentle ache in his aspect and again when his tumor was found by means of superior testing at WVU Drugs.

The leiomyosarcoma was on the inside wall of Logsdon’s vena cava, the most important vein bringing blood from the decrease physique to the center. The venae cavae are two massive veins (nice vessels) that return deoxygenated blood to the center from the higher and decrease components of the physique. The superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava each empty into the suitable atrium of the center. They’re situated barely off-center, towards the suitable aspect of the physique.

Within the decrease physique, the inferior vena cava runs behind and is connected to the liver. Logsdon’s tumor was situated instantly beneath his coronary heart and partially blocked the inferior vena cava, because it concerned the again of the liver itself. There was no strategy to take away the tumor with out eradicating the liver itself.

The whole excision of the tumor and the restoration or re-routing of the circulation required a novel collaboration of two extremely specialised WVU Drugs surgical groups. Wallis Marsh, M.D., Roberto Lopez-Solis, M.D., and Carl Schmidt, M.D., liver surgeons with the WVU Most cancers Institute, collaborated with Vinay Badhwar, M.D., and Lawrence Wei, M.D., coronary heart surgeons with the WVU Coronary heart and Vascular Institute, in an operation that took roughly 9 hours to finish.

Dr. Badhwar positioned Logsdon on the heart-lung machine, or cardiopulmonary bypass. Dr. Marsh eliminated your complete liver and the portion of the inferior vena cava that contained the tumor (ex-vivo). With the liver out of the physique and in ice, Drs. Marsh, Lopez-Solis, and Schmidt started the ex-vivo removing of the tumor that was invading the again of the liver.

In the meantime, Drs. Badhwar and Wei carried out an operation to interchange the inferior vena to revive the power of blood from the decrease physique to empty straight into the suitable aspect of the center. Then, the groups needed to discover a strategy to reconnect the particular veins of the liver to the center.

The hepatic veins are blood vessels that return low-oxygen blood from the liver again to the center. Nonetheless, a big portion of the hepatic veins and the encircling tissue needed to be eliminated to completely resect the tumor. So, each groups then collaborated to stitch specifically constructed grafts from the hepatic veins popping out of the liver and join them straight into the center. They then re-implanted the remainder of Logsdon’s liver and vessels in a process referred to as, autotransplantation.

There have been no problems, and the affected person has made a wonderful restoration. He was discharged Wednesday, Oct. 20, after solely 5 days within the hospital.
