Summary
Rat liver was totally deprived from arterial circulation. The arteria hepatica propria, the arteria hepatica communis and the arteria pancreaticoduodenalis were ligated, furthermore all connective tissue of liver hilus with its small arteries and capillaries were dissected, also the tissue round the Ductus choledochus and the Vena portae. The animals were sacrificed from the first to the 20th day and X-ray pictures were taken. The rat liver can subsist for 10 days and more with less or even without arterial circulation, especially the periphery. As possible causes for survival the anoxybiotic metabolism or better utilization of portal blood are discussed.
