SIMULTANEOUS PORTAL AND HEPATIC VEIN EMBOLIZATION BEFORE MAJOR LIVER RESECTION: A CASE REPORT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Simultaneous portal hepatic vein embolization (LVD) has been widely applied in recent years because of significantly increasing the rate and degree of liver hypertrophy in comparison with portal venous embolization (PVE) before major hepatectomy. So that, LVD brings the shortening waiting time for surgery and reducing the risk of tumor progression. We report a case where LVD was performed before major hepatectomy due to intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The patient then had a significant increase in the future liver remnant (FLR) after 3 weeks. Major liver resection then was performed at 4 weeks after LVD without postoperative liver failure. From this clinical case, we found that LVD was highly effective in increasing FLR before major hepatectomy. This procedure could be a great alternative to PVE, especially in case of small initial FLR.
