In this report the Authors describe their surgical technique of liver transplantation in the rat. The operation has been performed on fifty rats of 400 gms of weight, stabulated in standard conditions. The surgical technique has been extremely simplified, requiring only two end-two-end vascular anastomoses and another anastomoses between common bile duct and duodenum. Under the surgical point of view results are excellent, as demonstrated by the normal macroscopic appearance of the new transplanted liver, indicating a good revascularization; pre- and post-operative surgical complications are very rare. However, during the immediate post-operative course the incidence of mortality is high, because the occurrence of electrolytes imbalance can be responsible of cardiac arrest, respiratory insufficiency and pulmonary edema.
The authors present clinical and instrumental results of N. 543 operations executed by CHIVA system. These cases are the result of trial performed in seven SIOC (Italian Society of CHIVA Operators) centers executed from November '87 to July '89. Functional and aesthetic results had been very good on over 85% of all cases; superficial thrombosis were verified on 10% of all cases but almost completely asymptomatic. The aa. propose to start a deeper trial on 500 patients choose by rigorous criteria of inclusion.
