Preoperative Portal Vein Embolization for Liver Resection: An updated meta-analysis
Conclusions: PVE is a safe and effective procedure with a low occurrence of related complications for inducing sufficient hypertrophy of FLR in liver tumor patients, which could elevate the resection rate of liver tumor patients. Careful patient cohort selection is crucial to avoid overuse of PVE in technically resectable patients. Further multiple central clinical trials are conducive to select optimal patient cohorts and provide a guideline for surgeons.
