Abstract:Background
In China, both percutaneous microwave/radiofrequency ablation liver partition plus portal vein embolization (PALPP) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus portal vein embolization (PVE) have been utilized in planned hepatectomy. However, there is a lack of comparative studies on the effectiveness of these two techniques for cases with insufficient future liver remnant (FLR).
Methods
Patients were categorized into either the PALPP group or the TACE + PVE group. Clinical data, including FLR… Show more
