ref: 1685, Venterus Mandey, Mellificium Mensionis: Or, the Marrow of Measuring, 2nd edition, London: Thomas Howkins, page 73:
text: The initial experience with ALPPS [associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy] reported by Schnitzbauer et al. demonstrated a higher FLR regeneration rate of 74% after first stage, compared with that after right portal vein embolization (PVE) or portal vein ligation (PVL) (40%-69%) (Table 2). Although previously reported regeneration rates after PVE or PVL appear lower than those after the first stage in ALPPS strategy, we should point out a major issue that right PVE without segment 4 embolization prior to extended right hepatectomy leads to the undesirable segment 4 regeneration at the expense of lesser regeneration of the left lateral bisegments. However, right PVE with segment 4 embolization is associated with a significant increase in hypertrophy of the left lateral bisegments, compared to right PVE without segment 4 embolization (right with segment 4 vs right without segment 4, 26% vs 54% in regeneration rate).
