Approaches to reconstruction of inferior vena cava by ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation in 114 patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis

ELRA can be considered a safe and feasible option for end-stage hepatic AE patients with RHIVC infiltration.

The RHIVC resection without any reconstruction method should be considered with caution.
