Portal Vein Embolization with Contralateral Application of Stem Cells Facilitates Increase of Future Liver Remnant Volume in Patients with Liver Metastases

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the progress offuture liver remnant volume (FLRV) in patients with livermetastases after portal vein embolization (PVE) with theapplication of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and com-pare it with a patients control group after PVE only.
