A new method of mouse aortic graft transplantation into carotid artery was developed with cuff technique. By harvesting the descending aorta of the donor using a small Teflon cuff (external diameter 0.6 mm, internal diameter 0.4 mm) and super fine-tip forceps, and modifying the method of mouse heterotopic heart transplantation with cuff technique, donor descending aortic allografts could be interposed in the common carotid artery of recipient mice. Histological analysis demonstrated neither evidence of tissue damage nor intimal thickening in isograft implanted over 100 days. We strongly recommend that this new model of aortic transplantation in mice is a simple and useful technique for vascular transplantation research.
