The associating liver partition and portal vein ligation (ALPPS) is a novel procedure with increasing number of scientifi c and clinical studies, and by now, it showed to be effi cient and safe procedure in selected group of patients. Here we present the fi rst case of ALPPS done after double TACE procedure in a 64-years-old female patient with extensive hepatocellular carcinoma of the right liver lobe. The procedure was successful and liver remnant showed signifi cant 90% hypertrophy which proves that ALPPS sometimes can be performed after palliative procedures in liver malignancies.
