Eur J Cardiothorac Surg . 2015 Mar; 49(1):46-53. PMID: 25777057
Objectives: Due to organ shortage in lung transplantation (LTx), donation after circulatory death (DCD) has been implemented in several countries, contributing to an increasing number of organs transplanted. We sought...

J Cardiothorac Surg . 2014 Sep; 9:151. PMID: 25179441
Background: Lung transplantation (LTx) is still limited by organ shortage. To expand the donor pool, lung retrieval from non-heart-beating donors (NHBD) was introduced into clinical practice recently. However, primary graft...
