Abstract
Background:
Ex vivo perfusion is a safe and feasible method of assessing and using high-risk donor organs.
Aim:
We describe a case of successfully ex vivo treated and transplanted human lung allografts.
Methods:
Donor human lungs were assessed using ex vivo, our trouble shooting protocol allowed safe recovery.
Results:
We successfully implanted our ex vivo treated organs.
