Hyperacute experimental model of rat lung transplantation using a coronary shunt cannula

Figure 2 Graft preparation. A: Schema of cannula insertion. The tip makes it easy to insert the cannula into the lumen and prevents the cannula from falling out during ligature fixation. Regarding the modified cannula, the tip is smaller than that of the shunt cannula, resulting in easier insertion and simpler technique of ligation and fixation is simpler; B: Left lung graft after cannula insertion. MC: Modified cannula; SC: Shunt cannula.
