Physiological parameters after reperfusion (n = 6 per group). One of six experiments in the DES-IR group was terminated because of severe lung edema within 10 min after the start of reperfusion. Therefore, the data from this animal were removed from the analysis. Data are mean ± SD. a Lung weight gain. b R_t: total pulmonary vascular resistance. c P_AW: airway pressure. *P < 0.05 versus Cont group. ^†P < 0.01 versus Cont group. ^‡P < 0.001 versus Cont group. ^§P < 0.0001 versus Cont group. ^αP < 0.05 versus baseline. ^βP < 0.01 versus baseline. ^γP < 0.001 versus baseline. ^δP < 0.0001 versus baseline
