Scandinavian Cohort Study for Optimal Use of Portal Vein Embolization
Scandinavian Cohort Study for Optimal Use of Portal Vein Embolization
Several aspects on the use of portal vein embolization (PVE) are poorly studied and todays recommendations are based on low-grade evidence. In this Scandinavian multicenter cohort study we will study some of the controversial aspects on the use of PVE to try to provide clearer answers on its optimal use. Six tertiary university hospital hepatobiliary units in Sweden, Norway and Denmark participate and contribute with all PVE procedures performed at their units during the study period. We will then study several aspects PVE technique in relation to induced hypertrophy and surgical outcome.
