Background:

Ambulatory surgery comprises about 50% of all surgical procedures in the US.
Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly adopted in vascular surgery.
Transfemoral endovascular graft replacement represents a key advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a bioartificial liver support system in patients.
To assess the efficacy of porcine hepatocytes in a bioartificial liver context.

Main Methods:

A bioartificial liver support system was employed.
Porcine hepatocytes were utilized within the system.
The system was tested in a cohort of seven patients.
