Canadian Specialist Hospital provides specialised Portal Vein Embolization (PVE) with a focus on precise portal vein targeting, careful assessment of liver reserve, advanced image guidance, and coordinated hepatobiliary care. Established in 2006, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and operates 200 beds, with modern interventional radiology, liver imaging, oncology, and surgical infrastructure.

Portal Vein Embolization can be used as a preoperative strategy for selected patients undergoing extensive liver resection, particularly when the anticipated future liver remnant may be too small to provide adequate postoperative liver function. Treatment planning considers liver volume, underlying liver disease, tumor distribution, portal vein anatomy, and the proposed extent of resection. Detailed imaging and multidisciplinary assessment help determine whether PVE is appropriate and whether sufficient liver growth has occurred before proceeding with definitive liver surgery.
