[A new 2-compartment catheter for controlled drainage of hepatic venous blood to the extracorporeal space].
A new therapeutic catheter designated as "2-compartment-catheter by Helzel" for on-target hepatic vein blood drainage to extracorporal space, without blocking the caval blood flow to the right atrium, is presented. Its principle of action is outlined. First experiences in animals are reported. Using 2 additional catheters, isolated liver perfusion by "pure catheter technique"--without laparotomy--is now possible for various therapeutic approaches.
