[Modification of hemodynamic parameters of the liver by preservation]
Abstract:
Perfusion of sinusoids and of functional portosystemic shunts was investigated before and after PPF-, Collins- and Ringer storage and in Ringer-trickle-perfusion of the liver using a physical-mathematical method. The increase of the sinusoidal resistance after PPF-storage is less than after preservation by electrolyte solutions. Accordingly the amount of volume passing the sinusoids is higher after PPF-storage. This fact is of great importance for haemodynamic integrity after transplantation.
