Efficient nonarterialized mouse liver transplantation using 3‐dimensional–printed instruments

Graziano Oldani, Stéphanie Lacotte, Lorenzo A. Orci, Vaihere Delaune, Florence Slits, Quentin Gex, Philippe Morel, Laura Rubbia‐Brandt, Christian Toso – 12 September 2016 – Because of the wide availability of genetically modified animals, mouse orthotopic liver transplantation is often preferred over rat liver transplantation. We present a simplified mouse liver transplantation technique and compare transplantation outcomes with versus without hepatic artery anastomosis. Instruments for liver implantation were designed and printed with a 3‐dimensional (3D) printer.
