摘      要：The first lung transplantation in the rat was achieved by Asimacopoulos et al using sutured anastomoses in *** development of a cuffed technique to construct the anastomoses by Mizuta and colleagues in 1989 represented a breakthrough that resulted in simplification of the procedure and shorter warm is-chemic *** then,a number of further variations on the technique of rat lung transplantation have been *** spite of this,the procedure remains technically demanding and involves a long learning *** minireview describes the following new technical safeguards to further evolve the technique for cuffed anastomoses in rat lung transplantation:the use of anatomical landmarks to avoid twisting of the everted donor pulmonary vein and bronchus in the cuff,the use of the cuff tie as a landmark to avoid twisting of the anastomotic cuffs relative to the recipient vessels,distal ties on the recipient vessels to achieve a bloodless field and triangulation of the venotomy to avoid pulmonary vein tearing.
