Relationship of immunonutritional factor with changes in liver volume after portal vein embolization [PDF]
Background: To identify predictors of changes in hepatic volumes after portal vein embolization, we examined the relationship with preoperative nutritional and immunological parameters.

A Technique for Laparoscopic Right Hepatectomy Following Portal Vein Embolization in a Patient With Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Case Report [PDF]
Laparoscopic right hepatectomy following portal vein embolization remains challenging because of its technical complexity. One possible problem during hepatectomy including portal vein (PV) embolization is PV thrombosis.

Portal vein embolization in intrahepatic portal vein injury after blunt trauma: a case report [PDF]
Mortality from hepatic injury has declined over the last several decades for various reasons, including nonoperative management, such as angioembolization, in more than 80% of cases. Conversely, surgical treatment is preferred in intrahepatic portal vein

Quality Improvement for Portal Vein Embolization [PDF]
Future liver remnant (FLR) is the liver that will be left in place after surgery and that was not targeted by embolization. The FLR must hypertrophy after portal vein embolization (PVE). Most teams wait 4 weeks before surgery. FLR hypertrophy must be measured by way of computed axial tomography (CAT) examination after injection of iodine with ...

Hepatic adenoma rupture following portal vein embolization
Hepatic adenomas are benign liver tumors typically found in females of reproductive age. Though benign, hepatic adenomas are highly vascularized tumors, thus rupture and consequent hemorrhage present a feared complication.

Portal vein embolization following arterial portography for the management of an active portal bleeding after blunt liver trauma in a cirrhotic patient [PDF]
Background The management of blunt liver trauma in cirrhotic patients is challenging, because while bleeding is most often of arterial origin, the increased pressure in the portal system associated with cirrhosis can increase the risk of portal bleeding,

Portal Vein Embolization: What Do We Know? [PDF]
Portal vein embolization (PVE) has been developed to increase the size of the future remnant liver (FRL) left in place after major hepatectomy, thus reducing the risk of postoperative liver insufficiency. PVE consist in embolizing preoperatively portal branches of the segments that will be resected.
