Impact of portal vein embolisation uses in colorectal liver metastases: evidence from a rapid review
PVEfLR is an effective strategy for converting selected patients with initially unresectable CRLM to resectable status, achieving long-term survival comparable to other complex techniques such as ALPPS, although with a different perioperative risk profile. The choice of technique should be individualised based on the patient's anatomy, disease burden and institutional expertise.
