Abstract
Considerable interest in experimental liver transplantation has been generated recently due to improvements in the results of clinical liver transplantation efforts. An operative technique for orthotopic porcine liver transplantation is presented which represents modifications of and improvements to previously published techniques. Salient features of the technique include (1) use of a diaphragmatic cuff for the suprahepatic inferior vena cava anastomosis, (2) use of a splenojugular shunt, (3) omission of caval shunts, and (4) use of isoflurane as the primary anesthetic agent. This operative technique has provided excellent survival rates in our transplanted animals.
