    Abstract:
    We report a 70-year-old male patient who had successful hepatic resection with "Wrapping therapy" for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) uncontrolled by arterial embolization. His laboratory tests were as follows: Alb: 4.7 (g/dl), T. Bil:0.9 (mg/dl), ICG R15:26.8 (%), PT: > 100%, AFP:33 (ng/ml), HCV-Ab:(-), HBs-Ag:(-). Hepatic angiogram showed a 20 cm sized tumor in the left lobe and many large and small tumors in the right lobe. He received chemoembolization (TAE) five times during seven months. At the time of the fifth hepatic angiogram, TAE was assessed as ineffective because of the resulting collateral feeding arteries. Thus, he underwent left lobectomy, partial resection of the right lobe, and partial "Wrapping therapy" for the regions including foci supplied with parasitic branch. Afterwards, he had TAE two times. One year and five months after the procedure, he is still alive without signs of recurrence.
