title: [Animal model for the study of the anhepatic state].
abstract: Hepatectomy in the pig is impossible without simultaneous removal of intrahepatic caval vein. The authors covered the vascular gap using a siliconized glass prosthesis, completed with rubber tubes. 16 animals were operated upon in this manner and survived between 6 and 34 hours. In only two cases thrombi were found in the prosthesis.
