Efficacy of Sequential Hepatic Vein Embolization Following Portal Vein Embolization in Promoting Regeneration of Liver Volume and Function Before Right‐Sided Major Hepatectomy

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Sequential hepatic vein embolization (HVE) following portal vein embolization (PVE) significantly improves both the volume and function of the future remnant liver (FRL) compared to PVE alone. In this study, the FRL regeneration rates for volume and function were markedly higher and faster in the PVE–HVE group, with no differences in surgical outcomes ...
