ABSTRACT
The structure and function of the normal canine liver are still intact after its deprivation from both mesenteric and splenic venous blood by end to side porta-caval shunt below SPD vein. Consequently the hepatic damage caused by total porta-caval shunt is mainly due to deprivation of the liver from the pancreatico-duodenal hormones, contained in the SPD vein. The study indicates that porta-caval shunt constructed below SPD vein allows the pancreatic hormones to perfuse the liver and prevents the serious consequences of total porta-caval shunt. The clinical importance of such a shunt is obvious as it may turn to be the ideal shunt for the surgical treatment of portal hypertension in the future
