This review outlines the new and promising technique of ex vivo lung perfusion and its
clinical potential to increase the number of transplantable lungs and to improve the early …

The three classical core technologies for the preservation of live mammalian biospecimens—
slow freezing, vitrification and hypothermic storage—limit the biomedical applications of …

Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a major complication of lung transplantation that
is associated with poor survival. The International Society for Heart and Lung …

Background More than 80% of donor lungs are potentially injured and therefore not
considered suitable for transplantation. With the use of normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion …

Objectives The value of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in
lung transplantation remains controversial. In our department, ECMO has been used …

Objective Intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is usually reserved
to support patients during complex lung transplantation. We hypothesized that a routine …

OBJECTIVE: Normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion is a novel method to evaluate and
improve the function of injured donor lungs. We reviewed our experience with 50 …

Donor organ allocation is dependent on ABO matching, restricting the opportunity for some
patients to receive a life-saving transplant. The enzymes FpGalNAc deacetylase and …

Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a data-intensive platform used for the assessment of
isolated lungs outside the body for transplantation; however, the integration of artificial …

Despite the Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaborative's work to engage the transplant
community and the suggested positive impact from these efforts, availability of transplanted …
