Abstract
AIM: To develop a double cuff method for rat liver transplantation without preservation of “phrenic ring” to shorten the portal vein clamping time.
METHODS: “Phrenic ring” was completely excluded from the donor liver, and end to end anastomosis of suprahepatic inferior vena cava was performed.
RESULTS: The portal vein clumping time was shortened to 10.6 min, the successful rate was 83.1%.
CONCLUSION: This method can simplify the operation and shorten the portal vein clumping time.
