[Terminolateral portacaval shunt does not prevent hepatic regeneration after 65% hepatectomy in the dog. Value of parenteral nutritional support].
Lack of portal blood supply to the liver induced by end to side porto-caval shunt leads to liver atrophy but does not prevent hepatic regeneration after 65% hepatectomy in the dog. This work demonstrates the usefulness of parenteral nutritive support with a branched-chain amino acids enriched essential amino-acids solution in helping hepatic function restoration by comparison of three groups of animals which were fed either parenterally (two groups) or per os (1 group).

Le shunt porto-cave termino-latéral n'empêche pas la régénération hépatique après hépatectomie de 65% chez le chien. Intérêt du support nutritionnel parentéral.
