Is there anyone on this forum that has had portal vein embolisation please before a liver resection?
Asked on a couple of forums now and nobody seems to have had one.
I️ have a few questions.
thanks ️
Hi yes I had one about a month before liver resection. All my tumours were in right hand side of liver so they cut off the blood supply to the right side. This allowed the left side which was 40% to grow to 62% by the time of the major surgery. I was in over night as they monitor you for 6 hours after surgery.
if you have any more questions please get in touch!
