Preoperative portal vein embolization has been used as method of inducing compensatory hypertrophy in the future remnant liver since it was first described in the late 1980s. Many different vascular embolic agents have been successfully used for this procedure, and there is no general consensus regarding which is the best agent. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles commonly used for arterial embolization come in many sizes, are readily available, and are easy to administer via conventional catheters. We describe an easy, safe, and effective method of the use of PVA particles for portal vein embolization.
自20世纪80年代末首次被描述以来，术前门静脉栓塞一直被用作诱导未来残余肝脏代偿性肥大的方法。许多不同的血管栓塞剂已成功用于此手术，对于哪种是最佳栓塞剂尚无普遍共识。常用于动脉栓塞的聚乙烯醇（PVA）颗粒有多种尺寸，容易获得，并且易于通过传统导管给药。我们描述了一种使用PVA颗粒进行门静脉栓塞的简便、安全且有效的方法。
