Objective To explore the application of the technique of liver venous deprivation (LVD) for two-stage radical hepatectomy in patient with liver cancer underlying hepatitis B virus infection.Methods A 53 years old patient diagnosed with central primary liver cancer (Ⅴ/Ⅷ segment) could not receive standard right hepatectomy since his future liver remnant was insufficient, so the LVD was performed to induce FLR growth. The general condition and CT scan were repeated at 1-, 2- and 3-week after LVD, the FLR and FLR weigh/ body weight ratio were calculated.Results The FLR and FLR weight/body weight ratio before LVD were 24.2% and 0.459%, the FLR at 1-, 2- and 3-week after LVD were 29.5%, 38.3% and 44.4% respectively, the FLR weight/body weight were 0.545%, 0.707% and 0.820% at 1-, 2- and 3-week after LVD. The standard right hepatectomy was undertaken successfully at 25 days after LVD and discharged safely.Conclusion The LVD technique could induce a rapid and large FLR volume and offer opportunity for patients with insufficient FLR to receive two-stage radical hepatectomy, is a novel method to induce FLR growth effectively.
