Ex vivo lung perfusion made easy
View through CrossRef
Ex vivo lung perfusion is an indispensable tool in the armamentarium of any lung transplant center. It helps to increase an already shrinking donor pool by offering a chance to assess suboptimal donor lungs in a systematic manner and improve them by treating them with low-molecular-weight perfusate. We offer a stepwise guide to carry out ex vivo lung perfusion on the donor lungs and criteria to accept them for transplants.
