Core Tip	Plasmapheresis (PP) and other artificial liver support (ALS) modalities have been used to treat postoperative liver failure (PLF) and "small-for-size" syndrome (SFSS). However, these modalities did not result in a significant improvement in survival. It is thought that these modalities cannot relieve portal hypertension, thus are inefficacious. This study demonstrated that ECPD plus temporal PP via the portal vein can not only dynamically turn the portal flow to the systematic circulation and attenuate portal overflow injury, but also reduces toxic load. This technique should be undertaken instead of PP or ALS via the systemic circulation in SFSS or PLF, and shows potential for clinical application.
