Disease relevance of Hepatic Duct, Common

• There were 12 patients with cancer of the pancreatic head, 9 with adenocarcinoma of the distal common bile duct, 4 with adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater, 8 with cholangiocarcinoma of the common hepatic duct, 9 with intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma, and 2 with hepatocellular carcinoma [1].
• Hepatocellular carcinoma embolus to the common hepatic duct with no detectable primary hepatic tumor [2].
• A 64-year-old woman was referred to the 1st Department of Surgery, Niigata University School of Medicine for surgical intervention, in whom a biliary stricture in the common hepatic duct was discovered incidentally during a medical check-up for hyperamylasemia in an affiliated hospital [3].
• After initial unsuccessful internal-external biliary drainage, the fistula was sealed with a VIATORR covered self-expanding nitinol stent-graft placed with its distal uncovered region in the hepatojejunal anastomosis and the proximal ePTFE-lined region in the left hepatic duct [4].
• Laparotomy revealed a suppurated hydatid cyst extending from the left lobe of the liver, which had ruptured into the left hepatic duct and intraperitoneally, into the lesser sac [5].

High impact information on Hepatic Duct, Common

• The response of the common hepatic duct to an intravenous injection of sincalide (0.04 mcg/kg over 1 min) was assessed in 15 healthy volunteers [6].
• RESULTS: LUS visualized the CBD in 99 per cent of patients and the common hepatic duct in 92 per cent [7].
• RPC causing hepatic duct calculi is possibly an aftermath of recurrent biliary invasion in such areas [8].
• Reflux to the hepatic duct after cerulein injection was found in 6 of 20 (30%) examined patients with CP and more frequently in ADP, whereas there was no reflux in MIP and normals [9].
• The purpose of the present study was to compare survival data in patients with malignant hilar obstruction, stratified according to the Bismuth classification, who had cholangiography with filling of one or both hepatic ducts and subsequently endoscopic or percutaneous drainage of one or both ducts [10].

Anatomical context of Hepatic Duct, Common

• It is concluded that, in normal subjects, there is no significant change in the internal diameter of the common hepatic duct in response to an intravenous dose of sincalide sufficient to effect gallbladder contraction [6].
• CRP protein is similarly found in the lumenal aspect of epithelial cells lining the pancreatic duct system and the larger hepatic ducts [11].
• A PTCD tube had been inserted from the right anterior segmental duct and direct cholangiograms showed complete obstruction of the bile duct at the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts [12].
• The preoperative percutaneous placement of Ring catheters into the right and left hepatic ducts has proved to be a useful technical aide in the operative management of patients with lesions of the proximal part of the biliary tract [13].
• Portal vein and hepatic duct reconstructions were by the cuff technique, and supra- and intrahepatic vena cava were sutured continuously [14].

Associations of Hepatic Duct, Common with chemical compounds

• Holmium laser for treatment of left hepatic duct stone [15].
• Seven days later, the left hepatic ducts were embolized using phenol plus cyanoacrylate or absolute ethanol plus cyanoacrylate [16].
• The first infant after receiving 4 1/2 weeks of TPN and furosemide, developed common duct obstruction with increasing bilirubin and hepatic duct caliber over a 12-day period [17].
• Dissection is continued to the right, staying within the coronal plane of the left hepatic duct, and continuing across the gallbladder plate into segment 5 between the hepatic parenchyma and the Wallerian sheath of the right portal pedicle [18].
• It is our conclusion that at least the former two were cases of "primary cholesterol hepatolithiasis" in view of the shape of the stones conforming to the hepatic duct, their easy morcellation, and the high cholesterol contents [19].

Gene context of Hepatic Duct, Common

• CRP-ductin: a gene expressed in intestinal crypts and in pancreatic and hepatic ducts [11].
• Extrarenal manifestations of the cpk gene are evident in the CD1 strain and include cysts of pancreatic, common bile, and major hepatic ducts [20].
• We have reviewed a consecutive series of 151 patients with Type II and III HBO over a 4-year period to compare the outcome of endoprosthesis placement in either the right (RHD) or left (LHD) hepatic duct, to test this hypothesis [21].
• LCP showed the common and hepatic ducts more clearly than MCCP [22].
• The mean diameter of the donor common hepatic duct increased from 5.5 +/- 2.1 mm to 6.3 +/- 2.4 mm (p = .015) [23].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Hepatic Duct, Common

• Laparotomy and subsequent investigation, however, confirmed HCC metastasizing to the common hepatic duct [24].
• The mechanism is probably related to the vascular supply of the common hepatic duct and its relationship to the perfusion territory of floxuridine [25].
• Between May 1982 and January 1986, 55 patients with strictures of the proximal part of the biliary tract have been reconstructed with Silastic (silicone rubber) transhepatic biliary stents after the preoperative percutaneous placement of Ring catheters into one or both of the hepatic ducts [13].
