Abstract

Portal vein embolization (PVE) is used before extensive hepatic resections to increase the volume of the future remnant liver within acceptable safety margins (conventionally >0.6% of the patient's weight). The objective was to determine whether pre-operative PVE impacts on post-operative liver function independently from the increase in liver volume.
