Reperfusion injuries of the liver are often encountered in clinical practice during transplantation, resection or trauma of the organ with temporary occlusion of the main vessels of the organ (Pringle maneuver). The purpose of the minireview is to analyze and summarize our own and literature data on the role of carbon monoxide in the development and correction of liver ischemia-reperfusion syndrome in the experiment.
