For patients with insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) volume, adequate hypertrophy after Portal Venous Embolization (PVE) is associated with reduced likelihood of post-operative hepatic insufficiency. But what happens when PVE isn’t enough to obtain adequate volume prior to surgery? In this episode from the HPB team at Behind the Knife, listen in on the discussion about advances in venous deprivation techniques that can potentially increase resection rates and hypertrophy Hosts Anish J. Jain MD (@anishjayjain) is a T32 Research Fellow at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center within the Department of Surgical Oncology. Timothy E. Newhook MD, FACS (@timnewhook19) is an Assistant Professor within the Department of Surgical Oncology. He is also the associate program director of the HPB fellowship at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Jean-Nicolas Vauthey MD, FACS (@VautheyMD) is Professor of Surgery and Chief of the HPB Section, as well as the Dallas/Fort Worth Living Legend Chair of Cancer Research in the Department of Surgical Oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Learning Objectives: - Develop an understanding of Portal Venous Embolization (PVE) - Develop an understanding of Sequential Hepatic Venous Embolization (HVE) - Develop an understanding of Radiological Simultaneous Porto-hepatic Venous Embolization (RASPE) - Develop an understanding of the traditional two-stage hepatectomy with PVE - Develop an understanding of the Fast Track Two-Stage Hepatectomy Papers Referenced (in the order they were mentioned in the episode): 1) Niekamp AS, Huang SY, Mahvash A, Odisio BC, Ahrar K, Tzeng CD, Vauthey JN.
