Such a rare event that @younghong522 felt the need to capture it… yes, we live in the matrix.
You better show up if @CDTzeng who never does social media ACTUALLY Tweets. You know it’s a big deal. @HopSTranCao

Newsworthy 👉🏻 liver venous deprivation (PVE+hepatic vein occlusion) if sFLR <19% & consider functional measurement 👉🏻Kinetic Growth Rate (speed of regeneration) #oncsurgery @HopSTranCao @MDAndersonNews @SSATNews @IHPBA @EAHPBA @AHPBA
Starting Session II @SSATNews R/F Res Conf, Reed Ayabe @MDAndersonNews shows that patients with a baseline sFLR < 19% or those requiring extended hepatectomy may not achieve adequate hypertrophy with PVE alone @CDTzeng @timnewhook19 @VautheyMD @HopSTranCao #SSAT2023 #DDW2023
