A Technique for distal splenocaval shunt in the rat

World Journal of Surgery Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Distal splenocaval anastomosis was performed in 58 rats, using a microsurgical technique. Provided that the splenic artery was occluded during construction of the shunt, a patency rate of about 80% could be achieved. The model can be used for studying the effects of shunting blood from the splenic vein into the systemic circulation.

Résumé

Une anastomose splénocave distale a été réalisée chez 58 rats en utilisant une technique de microchirurgie. Nous avons obtenu 80% d'anastomoses perméables, à condition que l'artère splénique soit clampée pendant la réalisation de l'anastomose. Ce modèle peut-Être utilisé pour étudier les effets d'une dérivation du sang veineux splénique vers la circulation systémique.
