To evaluate the biological tolerance of the human liver to prolonged warm ischemia, 20 patients who underwent liver resections with hepatic inflow occlusion are reported. Biopsy of liver were performed during and after consecutive periods of hepatic ischemia, and speciments were observed under light and electron microscope. The results showed that hepatic vascular occlusion for <30 min, resulted in atotissular temporary but reversible pathologic and ultrastructural changes in liver, even patients with liver cirrhosis had better recovery from the operation when the hepatic ischemia was lengthen up to 40 min.
