title: [A portal vein branch embolization as a method of preparation for liver resection].
abstract: The results of preoperative transcutaneous transhepatic embolization of portal vein (PTTEPV) were analyzed in 86 patients, suffering malignant hepatic tumors. Depending on a planned hepatic resection (HR) volume there was conducted embolization of a right lobar portal vein (in 45 patients), right vein with a vein of C(IV) segment (in 32), lobar portal vein with anterior right vein (in 9). In 3-4 weeks after PTTEPV there was noted the enhancement of ratio of a planned residual hepatic volume/total hepatic volume from 16.3 to 27.5%, permitting to perform HR successfully in these patients. In 4 (4.7%) patients HR was not performed because of progressing of the tumor development or a total thrombosis of portal vein. The data obtained witness, that PTTEPV constitute an effective method of the patients preparation for HR while presence of a planned small residual hepatic volume.
