Abstract
In nine pigs, the livers were dearterialized by a combination of distal occlusion of the hepatic artery with Ivalon (polyvinyl alcohol foam) particles of 150–250μ and proximal occlusion of the common hepatic artery with Gianturco coils.
Necrosis of at least 90% of the liver developed in eight pigs. One pig with less extensive liver necrosis had developed an effective collateral circulation to a large part of the liver. Patency of the portal venous system did not prevent extensive infarction of dearterialized liver tissue.
