The homograft was positioned in the liver fossa, after removal of the recipient dog's liver, and
splenectomy was performed. Arterialization and internal biliary drainage were carried out
with a uniform technique in all 18 experiments. Venous pathways were reconstructed with
three variations:(a) anatomically, 8 cases;(b) anatomically with the addition of a small
portacaval shunt, 6 cases; and (c) by diversion of both the splanchnic and vena caval flows …

Methods
The techniques used for liver transplantation have been previously described (15). The homograft was positioned in the liver fossa, after removal of the recipient dog's liver, and splenectomy was performed. Arterialization and internal biliary drainage were carried out with a uniform technique in all 18 experiments. Venous pathways were reconstructed with three variations:(a) anatomically, 8 cases;(b) anatomically with the addition of a small portacaval shunt, 6 cases; and (c) by diversion of both the splanchnic and vena caval flows through the liver, 4 cases. Although the method used was profoundly influential in determining early mortality, the type of venous connection was not an important factor in most of parameters analyzed in the present study, and the results apply to all dogs, unless otherwise stated.
