Figure 2 Terminal branches portal vein embolization of S8 and S5. The communicating portal vein branches were interrupted without liver parenchyma division (red arrows indicate that blood flow to the S8 or S5 was interrupted, and blue dotted lines indicate the boundary between PVE and TBPVE). PV: Portal vein; PVE: Portal vein embolization; TBPVE: Terminal branches portal vein embolization.
