Fig. 2. New classication for (A) the biliary system (which is labeled B), (B) portal vein involvement (PV), and (C) hepatic artery involvement (HA). The bile duct staging is based on the Bismuth-Corlette classication.19 Involvement of the portal vein or hepatic artery is considered
when the tumor encompasses more than 180 of the circumference.
