title: [Morphological studies on swine livers after extracorporeal perfusion].
abstract: Morphologic examination of 6 porcine livers after extracorporeal perfusion showed toxic damages of parenchyma with and without necrosis, dilatation and distension of sinusoids with and without hemorrhage and accumulation of inflammatory cells, activated stellate cells, different distributions and loss of glycogen. These findings in the liver could be caused as well by inflow of toxins and cells from the patient, as by increasing damage of the livers under the unphysiological conditions of extracorporeal circulation. The authors point at possible immunologic responses and give their opinion on the question of "vitality" of extracorporeally perfused porcine livers.
