Objective  To explore the effect of ex-vivo liver resection and autologous liver transplantation (ERAT) combined with complicated hepatic venous reconstruction for end stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE). Method  Theclinical data of one case with hepatic AE who treated in Organ Transplantation Center of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital in December 2017 was analyzed retrospectively. Results  Pre-operative examination and intraoperative exploration revealed the hepatic vein (HV) and retrohepatic inferior vena cava (RHIVC) were invaded widely. We successfully initiated operation through vivo and ex-vivo hepatic AE resection, portal vein reconstruction, right/short/right inferior HV reconstruction into a wide mouth outflow with the assist of autogenous saphenous vein, and then piggyback autologous liver transplantation by wide mouth outflow-artificial inferior vena cava anastomosis (side to side). The operative time was 16 hours, and blood loss was 1 000 mL approximately. The patient was admitted routine treatment after hepatectomy. The inject low-molecular-weight heparin sodium was admitted for anticoagulant therapy 24 hours after operation. This patient recovered smoothly without bile leakage, bleeding, infection and liver failure, and so on. The patient was discharged uneventfully 14 days after operation, and there was no special situation during the6 months follow-up period. Conclusions  ERAT is an ideal surgical method for end stage hepatic AE. Hepatic parenchymal transection and individual duct reconstruction, especially hepatic outflow reconstruction, are the key steps for ERAT.
