Description
Summary:AIM To clarify the clinical factors associated with liver regeneration after major hepatectomy and the hypertrophic rate after portal vein embolization(PVE).METHODS A total of 63 patients who underwent major hepatectomy and 13 patients who underwent PVE in a tertiary care hospital between January 2012 and August 2015 were included in the analysis.We calculated the remnant liver volume following hepatectomy using contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT) performed before and approximately 3-6 mo after hepatectomy.Furthermore,we calculated the liver volume using CT performed 2-4 wk after PVE.Preoperative patient characteristics and laboratory data were analyzed to identify factors affecting postoperative liver regeneration or hypertrophy rate following PVE.RESULTS The remnant liver volume/total liver volume ratio negatively correlated with the liver regeneration rate after hepatectomy(ρ =-0.850,P < 0.001).The regeneration rate was significantly lower in patients with an indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min(ICG-R15) of ≥ 20% in the right hepatectomy group but not in the left hepatectomy group.The hypertrophic rate after PVE positively correlated with the regeneration rate after hepatectomy(ρ = 0.648,P = 0.017).In addition,the hypertrophic rate after PVE was significantly lower in patients with an ICG-R15 ≥ 20% and a serum total bilirubin ≥ 1.5 mg/d L.CONCLUSION The regeneration rate after major hepatectomy correlated with hypertrophic rate after PVE.Both of them were attenuated in the presence of impaired liver function.
