Figure Lengend Snippet: Flowchart of patients included in the study. Of 35 patients with bilobar CRLM who were eligible for study inclusion, 26 patients underwent CU, PVE and finally ERH. Nine patients (26%) were excluded because of tumor progression after CU and PVE ( n = 7), insufficient hypertrophy of the FLR after PVE ( n = 1) and withdrawal of consent for ERH ( n = 1). CRLM, colorectal liver metastases; ERH, extended right hepatectomy; CU, clear-up; PVE, portal vein embolization; FLR, future liver remnant.
Article Snippet: Transhepatic PVE procedures were performed by an experienced interventional radiologist using Contour PVA Embolization Particles in combination with Interlock Embolization Coils (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA), or Tornado Embolization Coils (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA).
