Techniques for lung transplantation in the rat. Exp Lung Res. 2019 Oct 12;:1-8 Authors: Rajab TK Abstract The rat is an important model organism for lung transplantation research. Orthotopic rat lung transplantation is a complex procedure, which requires advanced microsurgical techniques. This technical paper describes in detail highly reproducible intraoperative microsurgical techniques and peri-operative management, including the donor procedure, recipient anesthetic management, the recipient operation and anticipated peri-operative complications.
