Veno-venous bypass without systemic anticoagulation for transplantation of the human liver

B P Griffith et al. Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1985 Mar.

Abstract

A technique of veno-venous bypass without heparin has been developed for use during the anhepatic phase of transplantation of the liver. With this method, the ability to compress the temporarily obstructed vena caval and portal venous systems has made hepatic transplantation an easier procedure.
