[Efficiency of revascularization of the liver by intra-hepatic implantation of the splenic vascular pedicle].
Experiments carried out in 12 dogs with ligature of the hepatic lobar artery, show that intra-hepatic implantation of the splenic artery, or vascular pedicle, offers limited revascularisation. This produces a fall in blood flow in the implanted artery, reduction in glycogen and hepatic A.T.P., associated with a fall in the total protein content and hepatosine. At the same time, although there is a rich network of neoformed vessels, the hepatic transaminase and lactate activities undergo a pronounced rise.
