Abstrakt: Pig models have become common in transplantation immunological research. However, in pigs, clamping of the venous splanchnic system during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is responsible for high morbidity and mortality rates; therefore, the use of venovenous bypass (VVB) is advocated. Because venous bypass can also cause specific complications, a simplified method for OLT in pigs has been developed and evaluated in terms of morbidity and mortality.
