Portal Vein Embolization works by reducing portal blood flow to the liver segments that are scheduled for surgical removal and redirecting it toward the portion intended to remain. The increased blood flow and associated biological response can promote growth of the future liver remnant. Liver imaging and volumetric assessment are used before and after the procedure to evaluate whether sufficient liver growth has occurred for the planned resection.

Portal Vein Embolization (PVE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to redirect blood flow within the liver before certain major liver surgeries. During the procedure, selected branches of the portal vein supplying the portion of the liver planned for removal are intentionally blocked. This encourages the remaining liver tissue to enlarge and increase its functional capacity before surgery, potentially allowing patients with an initially insufficient future liver remnant to undergo planned liver resection.
