They were divided into TVE technique group (group A:n＝78), Pringle maneuver method group (group B:n=176) and unresectable group (group C:n=276). The clinical, operative, pathological parameters and outcome of the patients were statistically evaluated.RESULTS: Group A had a significantly higher resection rate than group B (accounting for 47.92% and 33.21%respectively). There was no significant difference in blood loss, blood transfusion and perioperative mortality betweengroups A and B. Both groups had the similar median disease free survival time (14.6 VS 16.3 months) and 1 year survival rate (92.9% VS95.5%). The TVE group had a medial survival time of 40.5 months and its 5-year survival rate was 34.6%.CONCLUSION: As compared with Pringle maneuver method, the total vascular exclusion is a safe and effective technique to increase the total resection rate of advanced and complicated HCCs.展开更多
