## Abstract In a new simplified model, heterotopic heart transplants in rats function normally with only an aortoaortic anastomosis when one of the 5 lobes of the lungs is attached to the transplant. If an attempt is made to remove the remaining lobe of the lung, the heart dilates, fibrillates, and
Traditionally, the mouse nonvascularized skin graft has been widely used in organ transplant research. There are, however, several limitations with this model, the main one being the different immune response of vascularized vs. nonvascularized grafts. We have recently developed a vascularized, orth
## Abstract Removal of a transplanted organ from its original recipient and retransplanting it into a new host is an important method to study the role of the graft in the rejection process. Here we describe a novel technique of heart retransplantation in the mouse. In this technique, a primarily v
## Abstract To simplify the surgical procedure and increase the postoperative survival rate, an improved cuff technique was developed for cervical heart transplantation in mice. Forty cervical heart transplants have been performed in mice with a success rate of 92.5%. The total operative time was w
