[Hemodynamics of the liver. I. Liver perfusion after ligation of the dog hepatic artery and portal vein].

By means of direct method hepatic blood supply was examined after ligation of hepatic artery and portal vein. 15 per cent of the total blood supply to the liver were arterial. This amount can rise to 30 per cent under extreme conditions, caused by an increase of arteriovenous pressure difference as well as by a decrease of the arterial flow resistance in the liver.
