Core Tip	Vascular resection may be required to achieve curative-intent resection in locally advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, but hepatic artery resection remains controversial. In this multicenter cohort, hepatic artery resection was not associated with significantly inferior long-term survival or higher major morbidity compared with portal vein resection, although hepatic artery-associated complications were more frequent after hepatic artery resection. These findings support the selective use of vascular resection in experienced centers and highlight the need for procedure-specific postoperative surveillance.
