Portal vein embolization (PVE) is performed to reduce the risk of liver failure and subsequent mortality after major liver resection. Although a cut‐off value of 2·7 per cent per min per m2 has been used with hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) for future ...

We describe the endovascular embolization of a 65-year-old man with chronic hepatic encephalopathy. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a splenorenal shunt and a recanalized paraumbilical vein as a continuous portal shunt connecting the ...

Standardized Liver Volumetry for Portal Vein Embolization [PDF]
Major and extended hepatic resections are being performed with increasing frequency as morbidity and mortality rates after major hepatectomies have declined and definitions of resectability have expanded for primary and metastatic hepatic malignancies.

Transarterial RAdioembolization versus ChemoEmbolization for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (TRACE) : study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary malignant tumor of the liver that accounts for an important health problem worldwide. Only 10 to 15% of hepatocellular carcinoma patients are suitable candidates for treatment with curative intent, such ...

BACKGROUND Sequential transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and portal vein embolization (PVE) are associated with long time interval that can allow tumor growth and nullify treatments' benefits.

In blunt abdominal trauma, the prevalence of superior mesenteric vein injury or portal vein injury is low and surgical treatment is often difficult. We report a case of percutaneous transhepatic embolization in a patient who experienced isolated rupture

Endovascular transshepatic access has limitations that can be exacerbated in the posttransplantation setting. Although several techniques are available for portal venous system catheterization, the transsplenic approach offers a direct pathway for ...

Peliosis hepatis. Personal experience and literature review [PDF]
Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a disease characterized by multiple and small, blood-filled cysts within the parenchymatous organs. PH is a very rare disease, more common in adults, and when it affects the liver, it comes to the surgeon’s attention only in ...

Transfemoral hepatic vein catheterization reduces procedure time in double vein embolization
Background Double vein embolization with simultaneous embolization of the portal and hepatic vein aims to grow the future liver remnant in preparation for major hepatectomy. Transvenous hepatic vein embolization is usually done via a transjugular access.

Portal Vein Embolization: History and Current Indications [PDF]
Portal vein embolization (PVE) was first adapted for patients undergoing major hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In these patients, PVE caused hypertrophy of the unaffected liver and increased the volumetric ratio of future liver remnant (FLR) to total liver volume.
