Zarbaliyev E, Turhan N, Çelik S, Çağlıkülekçi M. Lymphovascular invasion in colorectal cancers: can we predict it preoperatively? Ann Coloproctol 2024; 40:245-252. [PMID: 38946095 PMCID: PMC11362760 DOI: 10.3393/ac.2023.00458.0065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate preoperative predictors of lymphovascular invasion (LVI), which is a poor prognostic factor usually detected postoperatively in patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS Results for all patients operated on for colorectal cancer between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. Potential preoperative factors and postoperative pathology results were recorded. The patients were categorized as those with LVI and those without LVI. Potential factors that may be associated with LVI were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The study included 335 patients. The incidence of LVI was 3.11 times higher in patients with ascending colon tumors (odds ratio [OR], 3.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34-7.23; P=0.008) and 4.28 times higher in those with metastatic tumors (OR, 4.28; 95% CI, 2.18-8.39; P<0.001). Diabetes mellitus was inversely related to LVI in colorectal cancer patients; specifically, LVI was 56% less common in colorectal cancer patients with diabetes mellitus, irrespective of its duration (OR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.25-0.76; P<0.001). CONCOUSION The presence of preoperative LVI in colorectal cancer patients is difficult to predict. In particular, the effect of the effect of factors such as chronic disease accompanied by microvascular pathologies on LVI is still unclear. Advances in the neoadjuvant treatment of colorectal cancer patients, who are becoming more widespread every day, will encourage the investigation of different methods of preoperatively predicting LVI as a poor prognostic factor in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts are used to drain anterior sector veins during the living donor liver transplantation procedure. We aimed to analyze the potentially life-threatening complications, such as the infection and migration of ePTFE grafts. METHODS A total of 1264 liver transplantations (LTs) were performed for 1097 adult and 167 pediatric liver failure cases. In total, 1169 living and 95 cadaveric liver transplantation procedures were performed between 2011 and 2021. Right liver transplantation was performed in 1016 cases, including 1002 living donors and 14 cadaveric split right livers. Cadaveric LT was performed in 81 cases. RESULTS For 1002 right living liver grafts, 905 vascular grafts were used during the backtable for anterior sector outflow venoplasty. The most commonly drained segments were 5 and 8 (472 cases); there were isolated (5 or 8) and multiple drained segments. Vascular graft migration was described in 7 of 905 (0.77%) patients. CONCLUSIONS Although complication rates regarding ePTFE grafts are low, there are serious life-threatening causes of morbidity and mortality. We recommend cushioning the vascular graft with the omentum, which is effective in preventing graft migration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we present the results of two patients with vascular graft migration to the duodenum after liver transplantation. METHODS The results of two patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation and vascular graft to the duodenum were evaluated. RESULTS In our center, 201 liver transplants were performed, including 154 a right lobe living donor liver transplant. A synthetic graft was used to reconstruct segment 5 and 8 hepatic veins in 78 of the 154 LDLT. During the mean follow-up 19.6 ± 12.1 months (1-44 months), graft migrated to the duodenum in two patients who were present in this study. Contrary to the literature, it was followed nonoperatively. No problem was observed in the follow-up process. CONCLUSION In patients with vascular graft migration to the duodenum after living liver transplantation, non-operative follow-up can be performed in appropriate patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous outflow reconstruction is very important especially in right lobe living donor liver transplantation without middle hepatic vein. Various interposition (venous or synthetic) grafts have been recommended for reconstruction of anterior sector tributaries. METHODS We aimed to describe our surgical technique and analyze anterior sector venous reconstruction using expanded polytetrafluroethylene graft. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data for 760 primary right lobe living donor liver transplantations performed at our institute between December 2011 and June 2018. Reconstruction of anterior sector: expanded polytetrafluroethylene (group A, n = 705) and autologous vein (group B, n = 55). RESULTS Pretransplant characteristics were comparable among both groups. Group A has significantly lower cold ischemia time (68.7 ± .3.5 minutes vs 127.8 ± 7.2 minutes; P < .001) and anhepatic time (116.3 ± 5.5 minutes vs 190.81 ± 9.35 minutes; P < .001) compared with group B. There was no difference in recovery pattern of liver functions, morbidity, and mortality between the 2 groups. One- and 6-month patency rates of interposition grafts were 97.6% and 84.4% (group A) and 96.4% and 78.1% (group B), respectively. CONCLUSION In centers with limited access to homologous or autologous vascular grafts, use of expanded polytetrafluroethylene graft for anterior sector venous outflow reconstruction in right lobe living donor liver transplantation is a viable option with excellent patency and patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To share our experience with hollow viscus migration of artificial vascular grafts (AVG) used for venous reconstruction of the right anterior sector in living donor liver transplantations (LDLT). METHODS Clinical, radiological, and endoscopic data of 13 right lobe LDLT patients (range: 26-67 years) with a diagnosis of postoperative AVG migration into adjacent hollow viscus were analyzed. RESULTS Biliary complications were detected in 12 patients. A median of four times endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures were performed in 11 patients prior to AVG migration diagnosis. A median of 2.5 times various percutaneous radiological interventional procedures were performed in eight patients prior to AVG migration diagnosis. The site of migration was the duodenum in eight patients, gastric antrum in four, and Roux limb in the remaining one patient. The migrated AVS were made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in 10 patients and polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron) in three. The migrated AVGs were endoscopically removed in seven patients and surgically removed in six. Only one patient died due to sepsis unrelated to AVG migration. CONCLUSION AVG migration into the adjacent hollow viscus following right lobe LDLT is a rare and serious complication. Repetitive ERCP, interventional radiological procedures, infection related to biliary leakage, and thrombosis of AVGs are among the possible risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To analyze the risk factors affecting the development of infection in artificial vascular grafts (AVGs) used for reconstruction of middle hepatic vein (MHV) tributaries in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). METHODS Between January 2009 and January 2018, 1253 right lobe LDLTs were performed at our Transplant Institute, and MHV tributaries of the 640 right lobe liver grafts were reconstructed with AVG. Reconstructed MHV tributaries were removed due to AVG infection in 25 of these patients (case group; n = 25). To determine risk factors for AVG infection, right lobe LDLT patients without AVG infections were selected as control group (n = 615). Both groups were compared about demographic parameter, transcystic catheter usage, bile leakage, type of biliary anastomosis (duct-to-duct, telescopic duct-to-duct), number of graft biliary duct (=1 versus >1), number of biliary anastomosis (=1 versus >1), AVG thrombosis, AVG types (Dacron versus polytetrafluoroethylene). Univariate analyses were used for comparison of different variables, and variables with P ≤ 0.20 were taken into logistic regression model. RESULTS Univariate analysis shows that statistically significant differences were found between groups regarding bile leakage (P < 0.001), graft thrombosis (P = 0.002), transcystic catheter (P = 0.049), and AVG types (P = 0.013). Variables with P ≤ 0.20 were taken into logistic regression model. Multivariate analysis shows that bile leakage (odds ratio, 13.3) and AVG thrombosis (odds ratio, 9.8) were determined as independent and strong risk factors for development of AVG infection. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that bile leakage and graft thrombosis are independent and strong risk factors for infections of AVGs used for anterior sector drainage reconstruction.
