Complications of Portal Vein Embolization: Evaluation on Cross-Sectional Imaging
Portal vein embolization (PVE) is known as an effective and safe preoperative procedure that increases the future liver remnant (FLR) in patients with insufficient FLR. However, some possible major complications can lead to non-resectability or delayed elective surgery that results in increased morbidity and mortality. Although the majority of these complications are rare, knowledge of the radi...
متن کاملMortality after portal vein embolization
Portal vein embolization (PVE) is increasingly performed worldwide to reduce the possibility of liver failure after extended hepatectomy, by inducing future liver remnant (FLR) hypertrophy and atrophy of the liver planned for resection. The procedure is known to be very safe and to have few procedure-related complications.In this study, we described 2 elderly patients with Bismuth-Corlette type...
متن کاملTumor progression after preoperative portal vein embolization.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate tumor growth in a series of patients undergoing liver resection after portal vein embolization (PVE). BACKGROUND The regenerative response after PVE leading to compensatory hypertrophy of the nonembolized liver segments potentially enhances tumor growth. METHODS Portal vein embolization was performed in 28 patients diagnosed with colorectal metastases between 2004 and ...
متن کاملPortal vein embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Portal vein embolization (PVE) improves the safety of major hepatectomy through hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR), atrophy of the liver volume to be resected, and improvement in patient selection. Because most patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have liver parenchymal injury due to underlying viral hepatitis or alcoholic liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, indication of PVE is relati...
متن کاملEtiology and Complications of Portal Vein Thrombosis
BACKGROUND Portal venous occlusion represents a disorder with considerable clinical relevance. The underlying causes of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) are frequently multifactorial and include malignancies, progressive chronic liver diseases, processes localized to the epigastrium and hepatobiliary system, and acquired as well as inherited thrombophilia. The three main categorical groups are mali...
