Method of Isolated <em>Ex Vivo</em> Lung Perfusion in a Rat Model: Lessons Learned from Developing a Rat EVLP Program

Abstract excerpt

The number of acceptable donor lungs available for lung transplantation is severely limited due to poor quality. Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) has allowed lung transplantation in humans to become more readily available by enabling the ability to assess organs and expand the donor pool.
