This milestone publication lays a strong foundation for future clinical applications in organ preservation and transplantation.
- This milestone publication lays a strong foundation for future clinical applications in organ preservation and transplantation.
- For example, presenting a means to better accommodate longer transportation times, overnight bridging, or optimizing case scheduling during the day.
- During the six-month study period, the LUNGguard® Donor Lung Preservation System was utilized to preserve donor lungs for over 15 hours in 13 separate instances.
- Longer ischemic times increase the risk of primary graft dysfunction, a serious complication that can occur after lung transplantation.
