The current role of parathyroid cryopreservation and autotransplantation in parathyroid surgery: an institutional experience.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Little is known about the value of sequential transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and portal vein embolization compared with portal vein embolization alone before major hepatectomy for large hepatocellular carcinoma. We aimed to compare early and long-term outcomes of these two strategies. METHODS:We i...
