ABSTRACT
The changes in intrahepatic blood flow, occuring after embolization of right branch (ERB) of portal vein (PV) in 42 patients, to whom a major hepatic resection was planned for focal hepatic diseases, were analyzed. Together with cessation of blood flow along the PV embolized branch, there was noted the enhancement of the volume blood flow along the PV left branch by 226% on the third day after embolization with its subsequent enhancement by 337% comparing with initial one. Enhancement of a volume blood flow along right hepatic artery (HA) by 282% was noted on the third day after ERB PV with subsequent nonsignificant reduction, and a blood flow along the left hepatic artery branch did not change essentially. The blood flow enhancement in left hepatic lobe have promoted her regeneration and increase of volume of the organ residual planned.
