Addition of vardenafil into storage solution protects the endothelium in a hypoxia-reoxygenation model [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Based upon the well known protective effect of intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) accumulation, we tested the hypothesis that storage solution enriched with optimal concentration of the phosphodiestherase-5 inhibitor ...
