• This is a propensity-score matching study comparing patients who underwent conversional hepatectomy with or without preoperative DEB-TACE. • The preoperative DEB-TACE was safe and with mild toxicities (without toxicities more than CTCAE grade 3). • The preoperative DEB-TACE significantly prolonged the RFS of those patients who underwent conversional hepatectomy (10.7 vs. 8.1 months, p = 0.027).
