We aimed to develop a rat model for lung transplantation using venoarterial (VA) ECMO support.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 400 to 450 g were used in this study. ECMO circuits were created by obtaining venous access from the femoral vein with subsequent extracorporeal oxygen exchange, which was then returned to the circulatory system through the left carotid artery (ie, VA-ECMO). Simultaneously, the donor lungs were retrieved and immersed in cold, low-potassium dextran lung preservation solution. Orthotopic left lung transplantation supported by VA-ECMO was performed. Thereafter, a respiratory failure rat model was constructed using ventilation with a hypoxic and hypercapnic gas mixture, consisting of 6% oxygen, 8% carbon dioxide, and 86% nitrogen, before lung transplantation. Similarly, left lung transplantation supported by VA-ECMO was performed in rats with respiratory failure. Arterial blood gas levels were measured at designated time points throughout the experiment.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>We found that VA-ECMO provided sufficient oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal to allow for smooth left lung transplantation in healthy rats and those with respiratory failure.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>We established a rat model for lung transplantation using VA-ECMO. Left lung transplantation using VA-ECMO support is also feasible and safe in rat models of respiratory failure. These models provide efficient and economical models for translational medicine for lung transplantation using ECMO. Moreover, it will be invaluable to evaluate the physiological and pathophysiological roles of ECMO during lung transplantation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":53413,"journal":{"name":"JTCVS Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141704443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
