Safety and effectiveness of portal vein embolization after hepatic arterial infusion therapy

Portal vein embolization (PVE) is a potential tool useful for inducing future liver remnant (FLR) hypertrophy in patients with advanced hepatic malignancies who are at high risk of hepatic insufficiency if treated by surgical resection. However, the safety and effectiveness of PVE in the context of patients who have undergone hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) is unknown. This retrospective, single-center study identified nine patients who underwent PVE after HAI between January 2015 and December 2022.
