Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To establish a possible surgical approach for preventing warm ischemic injury to the liver followed by hepatic vein occlusion (HVO), the hepatic hemodynamics and energy metabolism were investigated in an acute canine HVO model with and without hepatic arterial blood flow. Arterial blood ketone body ratio (AKBR; acetoacetate/3-hydroxybutyrate) and adenylate energy charge potential (ECP = [ATP + 1/2 ADP]/[ATP+ADP+AMP]) of the liver tissue were measured during and after 60 min of HVO. In the group with hepatic arterial blood flow, in which arterial blood was drained by hepatofugal portal flow via the venovenous bypass, total hepatic blood flow, portal vein pressure, ECP, and AKBR were maintained at almost normal level after the termination of HVO, resulting in the survival of all animals for 3 days or longer. By contrast, in the group without hepatic arterial blood flow (warm ischemic group), total hepatic blood flow was maintained at less than 60% of preischemic value, and portal vein pressure gradually increased up to twice the preischemic value. ECP decreased from 0.81 +/- 0.06 to 0.71 +/- 0.07 along with increasing portal venous pressure, and AKBR also decreased from 1.23 +/- 0.12 to 0.63 +/- 0.23, resulting in no survival longer 6 hr. It was concluded that hepatic arterial blood flow during HVO, if drained as hepatofugal portal flow, could maintain nonischemic conditions in the liver, despite vena cava obstruction, by providing an alternate outflow via reversed flow in the portal vein.
