In the context of cell transplantation in the liver parenchyma, preconditioning is essential to enhance cell engraftment and liver repopulation. The authors have developed a minimally invasive technique of temporary portal embolization using an absorbable material, called reversible portal vein embolization. We hereby describe the method for isolating hepatocytes from a donor rat before transplanting hepatocytes after reversible portal vein embolization in the recipient.
