Hepatic trauma involving the hepatic veins and vena cava. 1976

P McMaster

The control of massive haemorrhage in major hepatic injury with caval damage is extremely difficult. Our experience with 5 such patients is reported. The management and operative techniques involved are discussed. In 3 patients control was obtained and repair effected without recourse to internal caval shunting. One of these patients survived in spite of extensive injuries.
