Experimental Rat Model for Brain Death Induction and Kidney Transplantation.

CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to observe BD for 8 h with maintained circulation in small experimental settings. The cuff technique for KTx is simple, the complication rate is low, and the warm ischemia time is short, therefore, this could be a suitable technique for KTx in the rat model.
