Regional Hepatic Regeneration After Liver Resection Correlates Well with Preceding Changes in the Regional Portal Circulation in Humans

Background and Aims While portal hemodynamics largely affects the liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy, whether the remnant liver homogeneously regenerates is unclear, especially in humans. We hypothesized that change in flow distribution varies in each remnant portal branch after liver resection in humans and the liver consequently regenerates heterogeneously.
