<p>Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is considered as a major method to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) has been used to treat patients with advanced HCC. This case report documents the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of TACE and laparoscopic ALPPS to treat the unresectable HCC of the right liver with right intra-hepatic metastasis in a male patient. Percutaneous and trans-femoral artery TACE was performed preoperatively, and the ALPPS stage-I at the 4th week and stage-II after 14 days was carried out. Postoperative outcome was assessed after 180 days of follow-up. It is concluded that preoperative TACE and laparoscopic ALPPS offer a fine treatment alternative to the patients with insufficient residual liver volume and relatively-advanced and extensive HCC.</p>

Liver resection in patients with HCC is the treatment of choice. In patients with insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) and compensated liver function performing the Associated Liver Partition and Portal vein ligation for Staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is possible. The classic version of ALPPS consists in ligation of the right branch of the portal vein with transection of the parenchyma and then performing right hepatectomy or right trisegmentectomy. This paper describes the first case in Russia of performing ligation of the left portal branch with transection of the parenchyma and then performing left trisegmentectomy (“reversal” ALPPS) in a patient with HCC and cirrhosis. Reversal ALPPS can be successfully performed in patients with insufficient future liver remnant in well-selected patients.
