Carrapita, J; Abrantes, AM; Campelos, S; Gonçalves, AC; Cardoso, D; Sarmento-Ribeiro, AB; Rocha, C; Santos, JN; Botelho, MF; Tralhão, JG; Farges, OIt was reported that prevention of acute portal overpressure in small-for-size livers by inflow modulation results in a better postoperative outcome. The aim is to investigate the impact of portal blood flow reduction by splenic artery ligation after major hepatectomy in a murine model. Forty-eight rats were subjected to an 85% hepatectomy or 85% hepatectomy and splenic artery ligation. Both groups were evaluat...
