Description
Before surgeons remove a large part of the liver, they often block one vein branch so the rest can grow. Hadrien Tranchart and co-authors test a short-term version of that block in a 2026 trial. Standard blocks use lasting plugs, which close the vein for good and can limit later care.
The trial ran at six French centers and treated 32 patients with a sponge plug that dissolves. The part of the liver left for surgery grew by about 9.5 percent in four to six weeks. Most veins reopened in full or in part, as hoped. One major complication arose, and liver function held. The trade is less growth for more future options.
