Detailed Description
Assessment of the 30-day mortality and major complications as well as the tumor size changes of the patients undergoing ipsilateral lobe arterial devascularization of the large hepatocellular carcinoma. This is a prospective non randomized trial carried out at the Ribat University Hospital between April 2017 to March 2018.

Experimental: Devascularization Patients undergoing ipsilateral hepatic artery ligation with extrahepatic collaterals division (HALED) |
Procedure: HALED
This is attained via a laparotomy involves isolation of the arterial blood supply of the tumor-containing liver lobe (the ipsilateral hepatic artery as well as the extrahepatic arterial collaterals) while preserving the feeding veins.
