Reviewer's report:
Dear Celeste Alexander and Kelly S. Swanson,
thank you for carefully implementing all suggested corrections and additions and also the
suggested improvements for the figures.
From the revised method description I now conclude that heart puncture was performed as trans-
thoratic puncture before the abdominal cavity was opened. Hope I understand it correctly.
However, everything else is well understandable for me now.
Thanks for introducing this interesting model. I hope it will be used to collect additional data
to follow up on your preliminary results.
