Rat vascular anastomosis was performed using a newly synthesized bioabsorbable material (LA-GA copolymer) cuffs and the ordinary polyethylene cuffs. The LA-GA copolymer cuff which anastomosed the portal vein and the inferior vena cava were patent and developed no collateral veins even after 6 months, keeping the transplanted liver normal. By contrast, the polyethylene cuff anastomosed portal vein was completely occluded and the collateral veins were highly developed, with the transplanted liver showing the fatty degeneration of hepatocytes and numerous regenerative nodules. It is concluded that the LA-GA copolymer cuff is a suitable material for the short and long term study of rat orthotopic liver transplantation.
