A. Prolonged survival of cardiac allografts after ex-vivo perfusion with solution of UW+Ad-NIS and 131I injection on POD 3 (Group E) (p<0.0001 vs all the other grafts grouped together, Kaplan-Meier log-rank statistical analysis). B Transplanted hearts were monitored daily by palpation and scored on a scale from 0 (non-beating) to 6 (vigorous, normal contractility). The mean value with the standard deviation is given for controls (white bars: group A, B, and C) and Ad-NIS transduced donor hearts in recipients that were injected with 131I on POD 3 (black bars: group D and E). Palpation score was significantly higher in group D and E respect to the controls (*p<0.0001). POD: post-operative day.
