Core Tip	We established a model of small-for-size syndrome in pigs undergoing 85%-90% hepatectomy with mesocaval shunt (MCS) placement to define the optimal portal inflow required to preserve liver regeneration. Our findings indicate that diversion of portal inflow by MCS reduces injury from portal overflow following major hepatectomy, whereas excessive diversion of portal flow can retard liver regeneration. Preservation of portal inflow to at least 3.2 times above baseline levels appeared to promote hepatocyte hypertrophy and reduce apoptosis.
