Article Title: Portal vein embolization with use of polyvinyl alcohol particles
Abstract: Preoperative portal vein embolization has been used as method of inducing compensatory hypertrophy in the future remnant liver since it was first described in the late 1980s. Many different vascular embolic agents have been successfully used for this procedure, and there is no general consensus regarding which is the best agent. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles commonly used for arterial embolization come in many sizes, are readily available, and are easy to administer via conventional catheters. We describe an easy, safe, and effective method of the use of PVA particles for portal vein embolization.
