Liver venous deprivation versus portal vein embolization before major hepatectomy: future liver remnant volumetric and functional changes

We previously showed that embolization of portal inflow and hepatic vein (HV) outflow (liver venous deprivation, LVD) promotes future liver remnant (FLR) volume (FLR-V) and function (FLR-F) gain. Here, we compared FLR-V and FLR-F changes after portal vein embolization (PVE) and LVD.This study included all patients referred for liver preparation before major hepatectomy over 26 months. Exclusion criteria were: unavailable baseline/follow-up...
