Liver cirrhosis in patients with short bowel syndrome is successfully treated in humans by simultaneous liver/small bowel transplantation. However, until now, a clinically relevant experimental rat model for this procedure has not existed. We therefore established a protocol that, for the first time in rats, allows the simultaneous transplantation of arterialized liver and small bowel into an orthotopic position.

Multivisceral and orthotopic liver/small bowel transplantations have been performed to treat patients with intestinal failure associated with liver failure induced by parenteral nutrition. The aim of this experimental study was to determine the experimental liver-small bowel harvesting and transplantation technique that achieves the best compromise between liver and intestine ischemia times in pigs. Initial portal revascularization of the liver which reduces the hepatic warm ischemia time after cold ischemia preparation of the graft immersed in lactated ringer's solution at 4 degrees C, reduce the risk of primary non function of the graft.
