[A method of extracorporeal perfusion of the sections of xenogeneic spleen]

A method of extracorporeal perfusion of sections of the swine spleen developed by the authors is described. Perfusion of the swine spleen sections was performed in the small volume perfusion chamber (100 cm3) with a 80-100 ml/min rate for 30-60 min with the help of a roller pump. The extracorporeal contour was connected with the major veins of the patient. An experience with the treatment of 23 patients with pyo-septic diseases with the use of extracorporeal perfusion of the swine spleen sections shows the efficiency, simplicity and safety of the proposed method.
