Fig. 2From: Rescue radiofrequency ablation or percutaneous ethanol injection: a strategy for failed RALPPS stage-1 in patients with cirrhosis-related hepatocellular carcinomaDynamic volume changes of the future liver remnant (FLR) after RALPPS stage-1 and rescue RFA/PEI procedures. Red or blue arrows stand for the starting of rescue procedures. PEI indicates percutaneous ethanol injection; postop., postoperative; RFA, radiofrequency ablation; RALPPS, RFA-assisted ALPPS (associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy). [Note: the time scale has been adjusted. In patient 1,3,4 the rescue was performed 3Â weeks post stage-1 and in the others it was done 2Â weeks post stage-1, but the liver volume is shown at the same time-point 1Â week after rescue RFA/PEI]Back to article page
