Technique for primate heterotopic cardiac xenotransplantation
Abstract
Heterotopic cardiac transplantation in the primate is a valuable method for the evaluation of immuno-suppressive regimens. This report describes our technique for heterotopic transplantation of cardiac grafts into the neck of baboons. Preliminary experience with cross-genus cardiac transplantation in the nonhuman primate is discussed.
