Total and segmental liver volume variations by Abdalla, Eddie

“…Similarly, extended resections of up to 80% of the functional hepatic parenchyma can be performed with acceptable complication rates in patients with primary and metastatic hepatobiliary malignancies in the absence of chronic liver disease.4., 13., 14., 15. and 16. Indeed, improvement in outcome and decrease in complications after extended hepatic resections of increasing complexity have been linked to preservation of adequate functional parenchyma.17 There are few studies in the literature describing the relative contributions of the anatomic hepatic segments to the TLV. …”

Chemotherapy With Bevacizumab Does Not Affect Liver Regeneration After Portal Vein Embolization in the Treatment of Colorectal Liver Metastases by Zorzi, Daria

“…Background Blockage of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in murine models has been shown to impair liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab (monoclonal antibody anti-VEGF) on liver regeneration after portal vein embolization (PVE) in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases and its possible effect on postoperative outcome after major liver resection. …”
