Liver hypertrophy post-Yttrium-90 versus portal vein embolization: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Key Points

• This research aims to compare the effects of Yttrium-90 radioembolization and portal vein embolization on liver hypertrophy.
• Conducted a systematic review of existing literature comparing PVE and Y-90.
• Performed a meta-analysis to pool results from multiple studies concerning liver hypertrophy outcomes.
• Evaluated clinical contexts for differing intervention effects.
• Pooled results indicate a favor for portal vein embolization in promoting liver hypertrophy.
• Individual clinical context is crucial for selecting the appropriate procedure.
