Intermittent Ischemic Preconditioning Protects Against Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury and Extensive Hepatectomy in Steatotic Rat Liver

Abstract

Hepatic steatosis and IRI after major liver surgery largely affect morbidity and mortality. Intermittent IPC, 24 hours before IRI and extensive hepatectomy, presents higher 30-day survival and improved liver function parameters.
