Abstract:
Within the framework of liver transplantation, arterialisation of the portal vein in the case of non-recanalisable thrombosis has been reactivated. However, one of the consequences of this vascular reconstruction is the development of hepatic fibrosis. Clinical experience has shown that the development of fibrosis can be avoided by reducing portal inflow. We present, as a model for the induction of hepatic fibrosis, techniques of PVA, including transplantation. For PVA, several different techniq...     »
