Abstract
The paper presents a clinical observation of successful X-ray endovascular intervention performed in a patient with colorectal cancer metastases in the liver in order to prevent post-resection hepatic failure. Traditional embolization of the right branch of the portal vein was supplemented by occlusion of the right hepatic vein. Venous deprivation enabled a rapid growth of the future liver remnant to be achieved as indicated by CT volumetry results and SPECT-CT data that showed a significant increase in hepatic clearance. The first results demonstrate that liver venous deprivation is to be investigated further in clinical practice.
