Abstract
This article presented our experience on transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and portal vein embolization (PVE) before hepatic resection for huge hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis. The preoperative future liver remnant/total estimated liver volumn (FLR/TELV) ratios of 5 patients were less than 40%, and preoperative TACE was implemented 3 weeks after PVE. In all these patients, right hepatectomy was successfully implemented. Preoperative TACE and PVE expanded the indication of hepatectomy, increased the safety of surgery and improved the curative rate. Key words: Interventional treatment; Portal vein embolization; Hepatectomy
