Abstract

Portal vein embolization is a promising adjunctive tool in liver surgery; however, the understanding of liver regeneration and PVE is still in its infancy. Refinement in patient selection criteria and methods to evaluate hepatic hypertrophy and function should increase the potential indications for PVE and expand the field of major liver surgery.
