Abstract
Temporary portal vein embolization induces hypertrophy of contralateral liver lobes similarly to permanent portal vein embolization in mice. This experimental work suggests that temporary portal vein embolization may be considered as a possibility in living liver donation, because regenerative and functional capacities are preserved in the embolized liver after recanalization in mice.
