[Functional studies after pulmonary autografts or hilar stripping. Experimental research].

pO2, pCO2, pH and ERO2 were controlled in the autotransplanted lung and after hilar stripping. The contralateral lung was excluded by ligation of the right pulmonary artery. It appeared that such ligation is not sufficient for this purpose, whereas hilar stripping offers an adequate experimental model for the simulation of autotransplantation.
