Valdecasas,Pedro García López,Manuel Gómez,Emilio Vicente,Carmelo Loinaz,Julio Santoyo,Manuel Fleitas,Angel Bernardos,Laura Lladó,Pablo Ramírez,Francisco Sánchez Bueno,Eduardo Jaurrieta,Pascual Parrilla +20 more
TL;DR: OLT for nondisseminated irresectable cholangiocarcinoma has higher survival rates at 3 and 5 years than palliative treatments, especially with tumors in their initial stages, which means that more information is needed to help better select cholangeous liver transplantation patients for transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laura Lladó,Joan Virgili,Joan Figueras,Carles Valls,Joan Dominguez,Antoni Rafecas,Jaume Torras,Joan Fabregat,Jordi Guardiola,Eduardo Jaurrieta +9 more
TL;DR: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization has been used as a palliative treatment for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, but its prognostic usefulness has not previously been clarified.
Journal ArticleDOI

P Parrilla,Francisco Sánchez-Bueno,Joan Figueras,E Jaurrieta,José Mir,Carlos Margarit,J Lázaro,L Herrera,M Gomez-Fleitas,E Varo,Emilio Vicente,R Robles,P Ramirez +12 more

Hilar Dissection versus the “Glissonean” Approach and Stapling of the Pedicle for Major Hepatectomies: A Prospective, Randomized Trial
Joan Figueras,Santiago López-Ben,Laura Lladó,Antoni Rafecas,Jaume Torras,Emilio Ramos,Joan Fabregat,Eduardo Jaurrieta +7 more
TL;DR: Although en bloc stapling transection is faster, hilar dissection was associated with a shorter pedicular clamping time, less cytolysis, and the materials required were less expensive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Martín Prieto,Marina Berenguer,Antoni Rimola,Carmelo Loinaz,C. Barrios,Gerardo Clemente,Joan Figueras,Victor Vargas,Fernando Casafont,José Antonio Pons,J.I. Herrero +10 more
TL;DR: HCV-cirrhosis represented the most frequent indication for OLT in Spain in 1992 and was not associated with chronic rejection, nor with a higher retransplantation rate, and patient survival was not different in HCV patients compared to a control group after a follow-up of 2–3 years.
