Karla C. L. Lee, Vanessa Stadlbauer, Rajiv Jalan – 19 January 2016 – An alternative to liver transplantation for patients with liver failure remains an unmet need. In acute liver failure, the ideal extracorporeal liver support device (ELSD) would replace the functions of the failing liver in order to permit spontaneous recovery, given the incredible regenerative potential of the liver, negating the need for transplantation.
Lemin Ai, Xiao Liang, Zhifei Wang, Jie Shen, Feiyan Yu, Limei Xie, Yongming Pan, Hui Lin – 19 January 2016 – To test the alternative possible locations for the placement of a liver graft and the relevant surgical technique issues, we developed a porcine model of auxiliary partial heterotopic liver transplantation (APHLT) and evaluated the difference between 2 styles of liver transplantation, either subhepatic fossa or splenic fossa APHLT, by comparing survival and biochemical indexes. Thirty‐eight miniature pigs were randomly divided into 2 groups.
