Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion Resuscitated Donor Lungs and Subsequent Acute Rejection and Airway Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
Purpose Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) resuscitates donor lungs for use in lung transplant. Acute rejection can occur in more than 30% of all lung transplant recipients and is a risk factor of chronic allograft dysfunction, which is the primary cause of long-term morbidity and mortality in recipients. Airway complications can occur in up to 18% of recipients, with a risk factor being prolonged hypo-perfusion or ischemia to the bronchus. A …
