Article Synopsis
- This study explores the Double-vein Embolization technique used to enhance liver remnant size before major liver surgeries, with a focus on initial experiences at Semmelweis University, Hungary.
- Over a period of 16 procedures, results showed a 100% technical success rate with minimal complications, and significant increases in future liver remnant volume and function, indicating the technique's effectiveness.
- While outcomes align with existing literature, the authors emphasize the need for more research to determine how to best incorporate Double-vein Embolization into standard clinical practice.
Background: Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), a relatively frequent arterial deformity with an estimated prevalence of 2% to 6% has been sporadically reported during deceased donor kidney donations. Only 8 case reports are available in the previous literature.
Case Presentation: In our work, implantation of 2 kidneys from the same deceased donor with macroscopically evident and later histologically confirmed FMD are presented, one of which ended up as acute arterial complication.
