Percutaneous Isolated Hepatic Perfusion: Hemodynamic Monitoring and Goal-Directed Anesthetic Management: A Case Report

A A Case Rep. 2017 Jun 1;8(11):300-303. doi: 10.1213/XAA.0000000000000496.

Abstract

The percutaneous isolated hepatic perfusion utilizes a venovenous bypass to administer high-dose chemotherapy exclusively in the liver, getting depurated through a hemofilter before returning to the systemic circulation. The hepatic perfusion is managed under general anesthesia and invasive monitoring as a result of very abrupt changes in venous return and vascular resistances because of the isolation of the hepatic territory and absorption of circulating catecholamines by the hemofilter. We report a case in which we describe the technique, physiologic implications, anesthetic, and goal-directed hemodynamic management for this procedure.
