Abstract:
Postoperative hepatic failure is one of the most severe complications after liver resection. Treatment protocols have varied from medical support to liver transplant. Here, we describe the clinical course of an 18-year-old female patient with postoperative hepatic failure. The combined use of intra-arterial tissue plasminogen activator infusion and concurrent liver support facilities resulted in successful treatment of postoperative hepatic failure. The role of thrombolytic treatment for postoperative hepatic failure may include future placement in routine treatment protocols, as seen in liver transplant.
