Portal vein hypertension is associated with post-hepatectomy liver failure in patients with liver cirrhosis. Our previous study found that bolus injection of 1 mg terlipressin immediately after hepatectomy decreased portal vein pressure, and post-operative continuous use of terlipressin decreased the amount of abdominal drain. In this multicenter randomized controlled study, we aim to evaluate the effects of terlipressin in the patients who underwent liver resection complicated by portal vein hypertension.
