Background: In recent years, extracorporeal liver perfusion (ECLP) has been regarded as a treatment of acute liver failure (ALF); but the system of ECLP has many problems. The purpose of this experiment was to detect the factors affecting the system of ECLP and to establish a stable and effective system of ECLP.
Methods: Livers were harvested from health pigs, according to the different styles of perfusion and oxygenation, which were randomly divided into 3 groups.
