We studied the effects of portal-systemic shunt after massive hepatectomy. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: one group underwent laparotomy alone (C group) and in the other group a portal-systemic shunt was placed through laparotomy (S group). After 90% hepatectomy was performed, 3-day and 1-week survival rates and histopathology were examined, and hepatic hemodynamics during the early stage after hepatectomy were measured using dye-containing microspheres. The 3-day survival rate in the S group was significantly higher, and the 1-week survival rate was slightly higher, than those in C group. Sinusoidal dilation 7 days after hepatectomy in the S group was significantly milder than that in the C group. Fatty degeneration of hepatocytes in the S group was significantly milder than that in the C group. With respect to hepatic hemodynamics during the early stage after hepatectomy, the rate of shunt (26.3%) in the S group was significantly higher than that (9.5%) in the C group. Portal pressure, total hepatic blood flow, and total hepatic blood flow per gram of liver in the S group were significantly lower than those in the C group. These results suggest that approximately 26% shunt after 90% hepatectomy in rats increases the early survival rate and improves histological changes in surviving rats 7 days after resection.
