The respiratory system, which includes the trachea, airways, and distal alveoli, is a complex
multi-cellular organ that intimately links with the cardiovascular system to accomplish gas …

With an improved median survival of 6.2 years, lung transplantation has become an
increasingly acceptable treatment option for end-stage lung disease. Besides survival …

Importance Ischemic cold storage (ICS) of livers for transplant is associated with serious
posttransplant complications and underuse of liver allografts. Objective To determine …

The outcomes of transplantation vary widely by organ. Lung transplantation (LTx) has rather
poor long-term outcome, with a current median post-transplant survival of 6.0 years. 1, 2 …

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

The limited preservation duration of organs has contributed to the shortage of organs for
transplantation. Recently, a tripling of the storage duration was achieved with supercooling …

Lung transplantation is a life-saving treatment for patients with end stage lung disease. The
imbalance between lung graft supply and recipients has been a serious issue and barrier to …

Patients awaiting lung transplantation face high wait-list mortality, as injury precludes the
use of most donor lungs. Although ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is able to recover marginal …

Background Donor lung use for transplantation is the lowest among solid organ tranplants
because of several complex and multifactorial reasons; one area that could have a …
