Characteristic	Before operation	3 days after operation	T	P
Total bilirubin level(μmol/L)	26.4 ± 8.0	27.2 ± 8.0	−0.50	0.63
Serum albumin level (g/L)	39.1 ± 4.5	38.4 ± 3.4	1.22	0.24

Mean ± standard deviation is given.

PVS-¹²⁵I,endovascular implantation of a portal vein stent combined with iodine-¹²⁵ seed-strips.

There was no statistically significant difference in prothrombin time and total bilirubin and serum albumin levels before and 3 days after surgery, p > 0.05.
