Abstract:
Heart transplantation in the rat is a frequently used model to study immunological problems of primary vascularized organs. A less time consuming and highly successful technique is described in detail. The donor heart is transplanted heterotopically into the recipient with the brachiocephalic artery anastomosed to the renal artery with 10 single sutures, and the pulmonary artery to the renal vein with two continuous semicircular sutures which were left untied. Both anastomoses were done end-to-end with 10-0 Ethilon.
