2. Fig. 1
Reperfusion apparatus. Deoxygenated blood drawn from the inferior vena cava (IVC) of the support animal is delivered to the graft by hydrostatic pressure, generated by a height differential (H) between the two. Graft effluent is returned by a pump (P) to the right atrium (RA) of the support animal. (F = flowmeter; T = pressure transducer; V = ventilator.)

3. Fig. 2
Partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the graft reperfusate over the reperfusion period. There were no statistical differences between groups or within groups over time. Data are shown as mean ± standard error of the mean.

4. Fig. 3
Partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the graft effluent during 1 hour of reperfusion of grafts flushed with University of Wisconsin solution and reperfused immediately (group I) or after 24-hour storage (groups II and III). Group III received 20 ppm inhaled nitric oxide for the first 10 minutes of reperfusion. Data are shown as mean ± standard error of the mean. (∗∗∗p < versus group I.)

Blood flow during 1 hour of reperfusion of grafts flushed with University of Wisconsin solution and reperfused immediately (group I) or after 24-hour storage (groups II and III). Group III received 20 ppm inhaled nitric oxide for the first 10 minutes of reperfusion. Data are shown as mean ± standard error of the mean. (∗∗∗p < versus group I.)

6. Fig. 5
Mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPA) during 1 hour of reperfusion of grafts flushed with University of Wisconsin solution and reperfused immediately (group I) or after 24-hour storage (groups II and III). Group III received 20 ppm inhaled nitric oxide for the first 10 minutes of reperfusion. Data are shown as mean ± standard error of the mean. (∗∗p < 0.01 versus group I.)

7. Fig. 6
Peak airway pressure (AWP) during 1 hour of reperfusion of grafts flushed with University of Wisconsin solution and reperfused immediately (group I) or after 24-hour storage (groups II and III). Group III received 20 ppm inhaled nitric oxide for the first 10 minutes of reperfusion. Data are shown as mean ± standard error of the mean. (∗p < 0.05 versus group I.)
