Abstract:
The study was divided into 2 phases: In phase 1 (1997), the left lobes were removed and transplanted autogenously to other sites. Phase 2 (1998 - 2000) was performed according to the human liver transplantation model. Results: In phase 1, the left lobes were removed in 6 animals, 4 animals were transplanted autogenously at spleen holes. 3/4 grafts had good outcomes. One out of 4 grafts discoloured with poor circulation. In second phase, 23 animals were removed left lobes, 21/23 grafts met requirements, and 5/23 animals had complications and dead soon postoperation. 18/23 animals remained to be survival postoperation. Among liver-received pigs, 5 animals were dead perioperation. 14/18 grafts had good outcomes. 4/18 grafts discoloured. The average extra survival of liver-received pigs was 14.6 hours
