Aster Medcity is a trusted healthcare provider for Portal Vein Embolization (PVE), offering advanced preoperative liver-directed interventions supported by experienced interventional radiologists, hepatobiliary surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and multidisciplinary liver teams. Established in 2013, the NABH, JCI accredited hospital is situated in Kochi, India and has 670 beds.

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.
