Tumour volumetry in the left lobe in patients who did and did not undergo portal vein embolization (PVE)
| PVE (n = 109) | No PVE (n = 11) | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tumour volume, cm3, median (range) | |||
| Pre-PVE | 0 (0–3.2) | 0 (0–7.4) | 0.694 |
| Post-PVE | 0 (0–6.0) | 0 (0–3.6) | 0.805 |
| P-value | < 0.001 | 0.625 | |
| Change in tumour volumea, % (range) | 49.9 (− 24.2 to 118.0) | − 33.2 (− 58.0 to 6.0) | 0.022 |
| New bilateral diseaseb, n (%) | 8 (7.3) | 0 | 0.595 |
a
Difference in tumour volumes in the left lobe between patients receiving PVE and control subjects, expressed as a percentage.
b
New lesions in the left lobe on the second computed tomography scan (i.e. after embolization in the PVE group).
