Abstract
Preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE) is the standard technique used to increase the size of the future remnant liver (FRL) before major hepatectomies. Another method to increase the FRL is liver venous deprivation (LVD), but its clinical and operative impact is still unknown. The aim of this study is to compare perioperative findings, morbidity and mortality and the increase in FRL volume (FRL-V) and FRL function (FRL-F) between PVE and LVD. Fifty-two patients undergoing PVE and LVD before a major hepatectomy were retrospectively analyzed between 2015 and 2018.
