06:56Using an Isolated Working Rat Heart Model to Test Donor Heart Preservation Strategies
944
We describe an ex vivo isolated working rat heart protocol to test donor heart preservation strategies. This paper describes the protocol for use in static cold storage of rodent donor hearts; however, the protocol can also be used for donor hearts obtained after donation after circulatory death and brain death.

06:16Rat Heterotopic Abdominal Heart/Single-lung Transplantation in a Volume-loaded Configuration
8.7K
We describe a novel technique for heterotopic abdominal heart-lung transplantation (HAHLT) in rats. The transplant configuration results in a partially loaded graft circulation, allowing direct functional assessment. This model may be employed for acute or chronic studies of function and immunologic status of the transplanted...
