Abstract:

Developed rapidly in some European and American countries over the past decades, lung transplantation has been accepted as the best therapy that improves the survival and quantity of life for selected patients with end-stage lung or pulmonary vascular diseases. Ex vivo lung perfusion(EVLP) has emerged as a modern preservation technique that allows for more accurate lung assessment and also improvement of lung quality. Its application in high risk donor lungs has led to safe and substantial expansion of the donor pool. This paper reviews the growing development of EVLP application in lung transplantation.

Key words: Lung transplantation, Ex vivo lung perfusion, Research progress
