Transileocolic Portal Vein Embolization Increases Remnant Liver Volume After Major Hepatectomy

Transileocolic portal vein embolization (TIPE) may reduce the risk of liver failure after massive hepatectomy. However, convincing evidence of its usefulness in this regard is yet to be reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the use of TIPE after massive hepatectomy. Twelve patients wh...

Description
Summary:Transileocolic portal vein embolization (TIPE) may reduce the risk of liver failure after massive hepatectomy. However, convincing evidence of its usefulness in this regard is yet to be reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the use of TIPE after massive hepatectomy. Twelve patients who underwent TIPE were included. Pre- and postoperative liver volumetry was determined using a 3D simulator with computed tomography. After TIPE, the percent change in total liver volume was 104.0%±13.1% (p=0.08). Conversely, the percent increase in remnant liver volume (ml)/total liver volume (ml) and remnant liver volume (ml)/standard liver volume (ml) was 122.9%±18.6% (p
