At Guven Hospital, Portal Vein Embolization (PVE) is performed using specialized interventional radiology techniques and detailed liver imaging. Established in 1975, this GHA accredited hospital in Ankara, Turkey has 254 beds and offers advanced hepatobiliary, oncology, surgical, and interventional radiology services.

Portal Vein Embolization may be considered for selected patients who require major liver resection but have an inadequate volume of healthy liver expected to remain after surgery. Using image guidance, an interventional radiologist accesses the portal venous system and delivers embolic materials into targeted portal vein branches. This redirects portal blood flow toward the future liver remnant, stimulating compensatory growth over the following weeks.
