Cervical heterotopic heart transplantation in mice using a novel suture technique
We provide a detailed description of how to perform <i>end-to-side</i> anastomoses using a suture technique in the mouse cervical heart transplantation model. This procedure reconstitutes coronary blood flow in the heart graft with minimal interruption to recipient anatomy and provides an experimental platform to study transplant immunology.
