Abstract:
Since the last review on lung preservation in 1985, enormous progress has been made in experimental and clinical lung transplantation. This comprehensive review examines recent advances in the experimental laboratory in optimizing conditions during organ procurement, lung storage, and reperfusion to minimize ischemia-reperfusion injury in lung allografts.
