Remnant Growth Rate after Portal Vein Embolization Is a Good Early Predictor of Post-Hepatectomy Liver Failure

Abstract

Both DH and GR after PVE are strong predictors of post-hepatectomy liver failure. Growth rate might be a better guide for the optimum timing of liver resection than static volumetric measurements. Measured volumetrics correlated with outcomes better than estimated volumetrics.
