Does portal vein embolization induce more liver regeneration than portal vein ligation in a standardized rabbit model?
PVE is superior to PVL in terms of the extent of the hypertrophy response in this rabbit model.
This means that calculations of the reduction in R 0 that interventions can achieve (the effect size) have a useful and straightforward interpretation, whereas if the theoretical possibility of a bistable equilibrium were the real behaviour, then such effect size calculations would not have a clear interpretation.
