Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Medicine
  • Transplantation Surgery

Background:

  • Lung transplantation (LTx) faces challenges due to donor lung scarcity and waitlist mortality.
  • Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a novel preservation method for assessing and improving donor lung viability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the technical aspects and clinical applications of EVLP in lung transplantation.
  • To discuss the expansion of the donor pool using EVLP, particularly for high-risk donors and donation after cardiac death (DCD) lungs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of technical details of EVLP procedures.
  • Analysis of global clinical experiences with EVLP, including the Toronto technique.
  • Examination of literature on EVLP for DCD donor lungs.

Main Results:

  • EVLP enables accurate assessment and functional improvement of donor lungs.
  • The application of EVLP has successfully expanded the donor lung pool.
  • EVLP shows promise for utilizing lungs from donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors.

Conclusions:

  • EVLP is a valuable tool for enhancing donor lung utilization in transplantation.
  • This technique addresses donor shortages and improves outcomes for patients awaiting lung transplants.
  • Further research into EVLP, especially for DCD lungs, is warranted to optimize its clinical impact.
