... pressure monitoring, etc.). ALF was induced in animals with a mean of 56 kg. Two surgical methods were compared: ligation of hepatic arteries with either end-to-side portacaval shunt (ESPS) and bile duct ligation or side-to-side portacaval shunt (SSPS) without bile duct ligation. Results: During total...

...P. Sharma It has been observed that portacaval shunt in the rat is accompanied by a high postoperative mortality rate and shunt patency is seldom optimal on long-term follow-up. The immediate postoperative mortality is directly related to the intraoperative duration of occlusion of the portal vein...

...J. Rozga; G. Flati; A. Tenenbaum; Lena Andersson; B. Jeppsson; S. Bengmark The effect of portacaval shunt (PCS) with and without hepatic arterialization (HA) upon the liver morphology, hemodynamics, and in relation to testicular weight, histology, and plasma sex steroid levels has been investigated...

...J.M. Romeo; A. Lopez-Farre; V. Martin-Paredero; J.M. Lopez-Novoa The purpose of this study was to determine the renal function derangements that portacaval shunting caused in previously normal rats. Eight rats suffered a surgical portacaval shunt (PCS) and another 8 a sham operation (SHAM). Renal...

... and splenic uptake of 51 Cr sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and of colloidal carbon was measured in three groups of Sprague-Dawley rats. Group 1 consisted of 42 control rats, group 2 of 36 rats with end-to-side portacaval shunt and group 3 of 24 rats with carbon tetrachloride-induced cirrhosis. The hepatic...

...) with an end-to-side portacaval shunt (ETS-PCS), 6 rabbits (group II) with a small-diameter side-to-side portacaval shunt (STS-PCS) and 6 rabbits (group III)with the same STS-PCS and 48 h of pretreatment with oxytetracycline were investigated and compared to 6 sham rabbits (group IV). The limited survival...

...: this observation questions the role that portal hypertension may have in maintaining the low platelet count. We have previously described the appearance of thrombocytopenia in rats submitted to portacaval shunt 1 month after the operation. In the present study we have investigated a supposed protective influence...

...G. Zsigmond; A. Bodnár; Z. Schaff; S. Karácsonyi Inorder to study the combined effect of end-to-side portacaval shunt and chronic liver damage on biliary organic anion transport, the rat model of thioacetamide-induced chronic liver injury was utilized. Compared with sham-operated animals, bile flow...

...F. Hess; C. Jerusalem; A. Willemen Two types of portasystemic shunts were investigated in the rat: low pressure shunts (portacaval shunt, PCS, and portacaval transposition, PCT) and high pressure shunts (portasystemic shunt by ligation of the portal vein after splenic transposition, PSSL). Liver...

...M. Minato; D. Houssin; I. Demma; J. Morin; M. Gigou; A.M. Szekely; H. Bismuth Efficacy of transplanted hepatocytes was evaluated in rats with a surgically induced acute hepatic failure. After 75% liver resection and portacaval shunt, the intrasplenic or intraperitoneal injection of 20 million...

...M. Minato; D. Houssin; J. Morin; A.M. Szekely; H. Bismuth Several surgical procedures were tested in the rat in order to create a spontaneously lethal but potentially reversible acute hepatic failure. Two combined surgical procedures fulfill these conditions: ‘75% hepatectomy’ plus portacaval shunt...

...J.P. Lambilliotte; J.-C. Pector; S. Verbeustel Total hepatic blood flow and ammonia tolerance test have been measured in dogs before and after portacaval shunt. In spite of a very significant decrease of more than 50% in hepatic blood flow, the hepatic extraction efficiency remained normal. A good...
