Efficacy of three-dimensional computed tomography volumetry for recipients in downsizing oversized grafts in brain-dead donor lung transplantation

ConclusionsBrain-dead donor lobar lung transplantation showed favorable post-transplant outcomes. The assessment of recipient chest cavity volume using 3D-CT volumetry may help surgeons precisely downsize oversized lung grafts prior to transplantation.
