Abstract EN
Management of advanced stage of Echinococcus alveolaris is a very difficult procedure.
Surgical treatment like resection and liver transplantation is accepted procedure nowadays.
Here we presented a case report of Echinococcus alveolaris which invaded the inferior vena cava up to the right atrium and surrounding tissues.
This patient underwent living donor liver transplantation with replacement of inferior vena cava up to the right atrium with cryopreserved cadaveric aortic graft.
This procedure is very difficult but it is a life-saving chance for patients in advanced cases of Echinococcus alveolaris.
