Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Klinikum Braunschweig, Hannover, Germany
J Heart Lung Transplant 23:1260-5. 2004..A toxic and pro-oxidative effect of homocysteine on the coronary endothelium may accelerate cardiac allograft vascular disease (CAVD). In this study, we evaluated the influence of hyperhomocysteinemia on the course of CAVD...
In-situ topical cooling of lung grafts: early graft function and surfactant analysis in a porcine single lung transplant modelIngo Kutschka
Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Klinikum Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 24:411-9. 2003..CONCLUSIONS: In-situ TC seems to be a reliable strategy to preserve lungs for up to 24 h. It even surpasses the results of LPD-perfused grafts in hemodynamic function and survival time...
