The Conversional Efficacy of Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion and Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Transplantation of Donor Lungs by Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion: A Meta-Analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: The pooled results indicated that EVLP could be used to assess and improve high-risk donor lungs and had non-inferior postoperative outcomes compared with the standard cold storage. EVLP not only increased the utilization of marginal donors, but also could extend preservation time and reduce the total ischemia time of donors. PMID: 31879416 [PubMed - in process]
