Table 2 Comparison of portal flow modulation techniques
| Technique | Mechanism | Median FLR hypertrophy | Hypertrophy time | Main risks | Indications |
| Portal vein embolization (PVE) | Portal inflow occlusion | 37%-40% | 3-6 weeks | Low (abscess, thrombosis) | Insufficient FLR, most common bridge |
| Liver venous deprivation | PVE + hepatic vein embolization | 50%-70% | 2-4 weeks | Slightly higher dysfunction risk | Inadequate hypertrophy after PVE |
| Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation | Portal ligation + parenchymal transection | 60%-80% | 7-10 days | Higher: Infection, liver failure | Unresectable with rapid hypertrophy need |
