Outcomes of Lung Transplants Using Donors from Outside the Continental United States
Purpose: Efforts to expand the lung transplant (LT) donor pool have included geographic expansion of the area from which donors have been drawn. We evaluated the use of organs from donors outside the continental United States (US). (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Worse Mortality and Graft Loss in Left versus Right Lung Transplants from Split Lung Donors
We present recipient outcomes of right and left single lung transplant (SLTx) from split lung donors to minimize selecting biases of donor quality and identify differences in complications and long-term outcomes. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Extended Criteria Lung Donors for Lung Transplantation in High Versus Low LAS Recipients: Should Different Acceptance Considerations Apply?
Purpose: Extended criteria lung donors (ECD) continue to play an important role in lung transplantation as a strategy against organ shortage. The impact of the use of these organs in recipients in different stages of their disease remains focus of interest. It was the aim of this study to assess the outcome of lung transplantation in recipients classified in high LAS ( ≥50) or low LAS ( (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)
