Temporary portal vein embolization is as efficient as permanent portal vein embolization in mice

Surgery, 2017
Temporary portal vein embolization may be a safe alternative to permanent portal vein embolization. Such a new approach could be applied in living-related liver transplantation to increase graft volume before procurement. The impact of temporary portal vein embolization on occluded liver after recanalization, however, has never been assessed.

Quality Improvement for Portal Vein Embolization [PDF]

open access: yesCardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2010
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 ...

Controversies in the Use of Portal Vein Embolization

Digestive Surgery, 2008
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Portal vein embolization (PVE) has reached worldwide acceptance to increase future remnant liver (FRL) volume before undertaking major liver resection. The aim of this overview is to point out and discuss current controversies in the application of PVE.

Portal Vein Embolization

2013
Preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE) is performed to increase the safety of major hepatic resection which reduces the volume of the liver and raises the portal pressure immediately after operation. PVE induces atrophy of the embolized portion of the liver to be resected, with compensatory hypertrophy of the contralateral portion of the future ...

Portal Vein Embolization

2017
Portal vein embolization (PVE) is used to increase the volume of normal liver tissue, allowing resection of liver malignancy in patients with an insufficient future liver remnant (FLR). PVE is recommended when FLR

Portal Vein Embolization in Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma

Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2009
In patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma, extended hepatectomy and caudate lobe resection are often performed to achieve an R0 resection. In patients whose standardized future liver remnant is less than or equal to 20% of total liver volume, portal vein embolization (PVE) should be performed.
