The study aims to develop a suture-based method for cervical heterotopic heart transplantation in mice to evaluate donor-specific immune tolerance.
Developed a cuff-free, suture-based technique for heart transplantation
Performed end-to-end micro-anastomoses on carotid and jugular vessels
Conducted intraoperative patency assessments and postoperative monitoring
The technique minimized peri-anastomotic inflammation and preserved physiological blood flow
Reduced complications associated with altered flow dynamics in small-caliber vessels
Provided a reproducible platform for secondary heart transplantation in murine models
