Methods to increase future liver remnant size
Contrast-enhanced CT of patients subject to different treatments. a PVE. b Rescue ALPPS after insufficient effect of PVE. c PVE/HVE. Before (1) and after (2) images are shown in each case. All patients with left lateral segment (plus/minus segment 1) as FLR marked with red before intervention and green at evaluating radiology. PVE, portal vein embolization; ALPPS, associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy; HVE, hepatic vein embolization; FLR, future liver remnant.
