Preoperative Interventions: Portal Vein Embolization

2020
Preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE) is a well-known minimally invasive interventional radiological procedure to increase the future liver remnant (FLR) volume. PVE is performed in patients having inadequate FLR preceding extensive hepatectomy for curative treatment of hepatobiliary malignancies to reduce postoperative liver failure.

Combined hepatic and portal vein embolization as preparation for major hepatectomy: a systematic review.

HPB, 2019
BACKGROUND Some patients remain deemed unsuitable for resection after portal vein embolization (PVE) because of insufficient hypertrophy of the future remnant liver (FRL).

Preoperative portal vein embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma

World Journal of Surgery, 1986
AbstractAs a countermeasure to portal tumor thrombi, which are a serious danger in liver cancer, we did portal vein embolization (PVE) during percutaneous transhepatic portography. Our 21 patients later underwent hepatic resection. After PVE, portal pressure increased and there was slight liver function damage, but this procedure was safer than ...

Complications of Percutaneous Transhepatic Portal Vein Embolization

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2002
Percutaneous transhepatic portal vein (PV) embolization (PTPE) is a useful preoperative procedure for extended liver resection. The purpose of the present study was to assess the frequency of technical complications of PTPE and to discuss the risks of this procedure.PTPE was performed in 46 patients.

Embolic Materials Used for Portal Vein Embolization

2011
The gamut of embolic materials has been used for portal venous embolization. Local preferences appear to dictate the choice of embolic material, as there are no clear data supporting a superior choice among absolute ethanol, cyanoacrylate, fibrin glue, and small particle embolization with or without coils – the techniques accounting for the majority of

Tumor Progression After Preoperative Portal Vein Embolization

Annals of Surgery, 2012
To evaluate tumor growth in a series of patients undergoing liver resection after portal vein embolization (PVE).The regenerative response after PVE leading to compensatory hypertrophy of the nonembolized liver segments potentially enhances tumor growth.Portal vein embolization was performed in 28 patients diagnosed with colorectal metastases between ...

Neoadjuvant Radiation Lobectomy As an Alternative to Portal Vein Embolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Seminars in nuclear medicine, 2019
Surgical resection is considered first line and potentially curative for early stage hepatocellular carcinoma. However, many patients presenting with small tumors might not qualify as candidates for surgical resection given their small future liver ...

Complications of Portal Vein Embolization

2011
Portal vein embolization (PVE) may be viewed as a tool used to improve the morbidity and mortality following major hepatectomy. While it is considered relatively safe, PVE is a complex procedure with potential complications. Adverse events may relate to the access approach or to the embolization procedure itself.

Portal vein embolization in extended liver resection

Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 2017
Liver resection of benign, primary, and metastatic tumors is challenging and places patients at risk of postoperative liver insufficiency. This risk is largely dependent on the volume and function of the future liver remnant (FLR). It is, therefore, critical that hepatobiliary surgeons are well versed in the measurement of liver volume and function, as
