Ex vivo lung perfusion has enabled our program to significantly and safely increase our lung transplant activity to offer lung transplantation to more individuals in need of this life-saving therapy. This study confirms the similar long-term outcomes of EVLP-treated high-risk extended criteria donor lungs compared with conventional donor lungs.
22 mar 2022 · Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a modality that allows donor lungs to be evaluated in a closed circuit outside of the body and extends lung donor assessment prior to final acceptance for transplantation. EVLP was first utilized successfully in 2001 in Lund, Sweden.
8 sie 2022 · Lung repair using ex vivo lung perfusion. An important purpose of EVLP is to evaluate lung function objectively, repair injured lungs, and protect them from inflammatory and immune reactions, so that they can eventually be used for LTx. Lungs with infections can be treated by administering high-dose antibiotics during EVLP.
6 sie 2024 · Here we present a case of planned single-lung ex-vivo lung perfusion that enabled the use of a single lung for transplantation, that otherwise may have gone unallocated. Creative management of the donor trachea enabled use of both the left and right lungs for separate recipients.
24 lip 2014 · Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has emerged as a new technique for assessing and potentially reconditioning human donor lungs previously unacceptable for clinical transplantation with the potential to dramatically push the limits of organ acceptability.
8 lut 2020 · Ex vivo lung perfusion has emerged as a potential tool to assess the quality and to recondition marginal donor lungs prior to transplantation with the goal of increasing the donor pool.
8 mar 2021 · Recent innovations, particularly the development of ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP), in which donor lungs are ventilated and perfused under normothermic conditions outside the body, have allowed clinicians to more accurately assess the donor lung function prior to transplantation.
