Core Tip
Core Tip: We developed a rat lung transplantation technique using a coronary shunt cannula (SC) for the pulmonary arteriovenous system and bronchial tube anastomosis. This method is simple and can be performed by a surgeon. This study evaluated the usefulness of this method by using a modified cannula (MC), which we developed by modifying the SC and improving its shortcomings. The MC is inexpensive and easy to prepare and operate. Presently, a hyperacute lung tran
