By-pass system employed during orthotopic homotransplantation of the canine liver. A temporary side-to-side portacaval shunt is performed to bring the splanchnic and systemic venous pools into communication. A single plastic external by-pass is then used to decompress both systems during the period of necessary venous occlusion. The portacaval anastomosis is later taken down and lateral repair of the two vessels is carried out. (By permission of Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics. 111: 733. 1960.)
