Technique of partial portacaval transposition. Note that one portion of the liver receives splanchnic flow but that the other part receives venous inflow from the inferior vena cava. Of 7 chronic animals, 3 were prepared as shown in A and 4 were prepared as shown in B.

Marked atrophy after partial transposition to the right main portal trunk. The autopsy specimen was obtained 73 days after operation. The atrophic right portion weighed 52 grams. The hypertrophied left fraction weighed 234 grams.

Photomicrographs of sections from a liver which had been subjected to partial portacaval transposition. The part of the liver which received vena caval blood (panels on left) shows shrinkage of the liver lobules, depletion of centrilobular glycogen, and atrophy of hepatocytes when compared with the part which received portal blood (panels on right). (Upper, reticulin stain. ×30. Middle, periodic acid–Schiff. ×40. Lower, hematoxylin and eosin. ×250.)
