Acute hepatitis A superimposed on chronic liver disease (CLD) has been associated with severe or fulminant hepatitis. An open, multicenter study was performed to compare the safety and immunogenicity of an inactivated hepatitis A vaccine in patients with CLD with that in healthy subjects. A secondar

Abstract
A partial hepatic resection was performed in 13 patients with chronic liver disease using intermittent hepatic inflow occlusion. Eleven patients had liver cirrhosis and two had chronic hepatitis. Seven patients were classified as Child's grade A and six as Child's grade B before operation. Dissection of the hepatic parenchyma was performed during intermittent inflow occlusion. The time of clamping and declamping was 10β20 min and 5β8 min, respectively. Postoperative data on liver function showed recovery to preoperative levels by about 10 days after operation. There were no life-threatening complications. These results indicate that intermittent hepatic inflow occlusion can be achieved easily and safely to allow non-anatomical resection in patients with chronic liver disease.
