Methods Technic of Transplantation. Dogs weighing more than 15 Kg. were used although the procedure has been performed successfully in animals as small as 7 Kg. In the prospective recipient animal, a standard left thoracotomy is performed through the fifth intercostal space. The inferior pulmo-nary ligament is divided. The left pulmo-nary artery is dissected free of all adven-titia from its first branch to its origin. The pericardium is opened over the main pul-monary artery and a clamp is placed on the visceral pericardial reflection overlying the main pulmonary artery. Traction on this clamp laterally and anteriorly facilitates dissection of the right main pulmonary artery (Fig. 1). Extensive posterior and superior exposure of this vessel permits circumferential dissection and encirclement with a ligature. The pericardial incision is then extended inferiorly exposing the anterior aspect of the left atrium and the right inferior pulmonary vein which drains the large diaphragmatic lobe of the right lung (Fig. 1). By traction exerted superiorly on the left lower lobe, it is possible to develop bluntly the avascular plane between the left mainstem bronchus and the left atrium. The posterior bronchial dissection is limited to division of the vis-ceral pleura. With the exception of exposure of theright pulmonary artery, a simi-lar dissection is carried out on the donor lung which should be of a comparable size or slightly larger than that of the recipient. Paired straight or angled atraumatic clamps are placed across the left pulmo-553
