  1. aInclusion criteria were primary or secondary liver lesions planned for extended right hemihepatectomy (ERH). Disease had to be liver dominant, and a tumor board vote had to be positive towards a hypertrophy model and hemihepatectomy. Pre- and postinterventional CT scans, laboratory parameters and biometric data needed to be available to be included. Ninety-five interventions in 88 patients were analyzed. The following patients were excluded from further analysis: 15 patients were lost to follow up or had insufficient scan quality, in 2 patients the retrospective data of the intervention / lab data were incomplete, and in another 2 patients there was an atypical (left) approach. bOne HVE was perfomed within the same session as PVE
  2. cOf the patients with CRLM, 25 had previous surgery (as did all CRLM HVE patients), 3 had radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and 6 patients received FOLFOX or Bevacicumab (Avastin®)
  3. dOf the patients with central bile duct tumors (intrahepatic CCC and or perihilar cholangiocarcinomas (Klatskin)), 5 had prior surgery and 5 had other previous interventions (such as ERCP or PTCD) - in total there were 9 pre-treated patients in this group
  4. eRegarding the patients with HCC, one patient had a previous trans-arterial chemoembolization and none had previous surgery
  5. fRegarding the patients with other malignancies, 3 had previous surgery, 3 and 2 had other pretreatments (Y90 and RFA)
