Associating portal embolization and artery ligation to induce rapid liver regeneration in staged hepatectomy

Abstract: Background: Insufficient volume of the future liver remnant (FLR) is a major cause of unresectability in patients with bilobar colorectal liver metastases (CLM). The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel associating portal embolization and artery ligation (APEAL) technique before extended right hepatectomy during a two-stage procedure for CLM.

“…The combined use of chemotherapy and surgery has contributed to an increase in resectability and survival. This is based on the effective "conversion" chemotherapy agents (oxaliplatin and irinotecan) in combination with molecular targeted agents (bevacizumab and cetuximab), in association with liver remodeling strategies including portal vein ligation or embolization [13]. Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy [14], which represents a new strategy, currently remains investigational due to associated high morbidity and mortality.…”
