1 How long can we preserve the pulmonary graft inside the nonheart-beating donor? 
Filip R Rega, MD, Arne P Neyrinck, MD, Geert M Verleden, MD, PhD, Toni E Lerut, MD, PhD, Dirk E.M Van Raemdonck, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 77, Issue 2, Pages (February 2004) DOI: /S (03)

2 Fig 1 Schematic overview of the experimental groups starting at death of the animals. (E = evaluation; h = hours; HBD = heart-beating donor; min = minutes; NHBD-TC3 = nonheart-beating donor plus 3 hours topical cooling; NHBD-TC6 = nonheart-beating donor plus 6 hours topical cooling.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

3 Fig 2 (A) Technique of topical cooling. One inflow drain and one outflow drain was inserted in each pleural cavity. (B) The two outflow drains were connected to a 5 cm H2O overflow system. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

4 Fig 3 Endobronchial temperature decline after death in the two study groups: nonheart-beating donor plus 3 hours topical cooling (NHBD-TC3, dotted line) and nonheart-beating donor plus 6 hours topical cooling (NHBD-TC6, solid gray line). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

5 Fig 4 Pulmonary vascular resistance in all three groups (n = 6 in each group). (HBD = heart-beating donor; Min-Max = minimum-maximum; NHBD-TC3 = nonheart-beating donor plus 3 hours topical cooling; NHBD-TC6 = nonheart-beating donor plus 6 hours topical cooling.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

6 Fig 5 Mean airway pressure in all three groups (n = 6 in each group). (HBD = heart-beating donor; Min-Max = minimum-maximum; NHBD-TC3 = nonheart-beating donor plus 3 hours topical cooling; NHBD-TC6 = nonheart-beating donor plus 6 hours topical cooling.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

7 Fig 6 Oxygenation index in all three groups (n = 6 in each group). (HBD = heart-beating donor; Min-Max = minimum-maximum; NHBD-TC3 = nonheart-beating donor plus 3 hours topical cooling; NHBD-TC6 = nonheart-beating donor plus 6 hours topical cooling.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

8 Fig 7 Wet-to-dry weight ratio in all three groups (n = 6 in each group). (HBD = heart-beating donor; Min-Max = minimum-maximum; NHBD-TC3 = nonheart-beating donor plus 3 hours topical cooling; NHBD-TC6 = nonheart-beating donor plus 6 hours topical cooling.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )
