Abstract
Cyclosporine (CsA), a calcineurin inhibitor, has been associated with endothelial dysfunction in transplant patients. Human and in vitro studies suggest that CsA produces endothelial dysfunction by impairing vascular endothelium-dependent relaxation. However, little is know about the CsA effects to modulate the vasorelaxation after prolonged graft preservation. In this study using a protocol designed to eliminate the influences of infusion pressure and shear stress, we evaluated the effect of CsA on vasorelaxation of coronary and pulmonary arteries after 16-hour University of Wisconsin (UW) solution preservation.
