Zusammenfassung:Background Portal vein embolisation (PVE) induces contra-lateral liver hypertrophy to facilitate an extended hepatectomy. Aim This paper aims to analyse our data on PVE and extended hepatectomy. Outcome measures included success of PVE, feasibility of resections, operative morbidity and survival. Methods A retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively on 33 patients (2004–2008) was performed. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan–Meier (Breslow) method. Significance was defined as p
