NMC Specialty Hospital Al Salam 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 1999, the CBAHI accredited hospital is located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and operates 100 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.
