Lung Transplantation After Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion versus Static Cold Storage: A Single Institution Cost Analysis
*Purpose: Ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) allows for reconditioning of “marginal” lung grafts and extended lung preservation. However, EVLP is costlier than cold storage. We compared…2020 American Transplant Congress
Pilot Study: Effect of Dual Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion on Human Lung Preservation
*Purpose: We have developed a novel lung preservation technique, dual ex vivo lung perfusion (dual EVLP) where both pulmonary artery (PA) and bronchial artery (BA)…2020 American Transplant Congress
Effects of Subnormothermic Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion on Inflammatory Injury in a Murine Lung Transplant Model
*Purpose: Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has emerged as a technique that safely preserve lungs prior to transplantation. Recent evidence demonstrates increased levels of inflammatory…2020 American Transplant Congress
A Large Animal Model of Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion as a Platform to Deliver Therapeutic Agents to Lungs Before Lung Transplant
*Purpose: Ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has been used to evaluate lung function before lung transplant (LT). We used EVLP to expose lungs recovered 6 hours…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Ratio between Naïve and Memory B Cells is Associated with Development of Early Donor-Specific Antibodies within the First Month after Lung Transplantation
*Purpose: After lung transplantation (LuTx), the development of early donor HLA-specific antibodies (eDSA) has been shown to be associated with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and poor…2020 American Transplant Congress
Perioperative Results of Lung Transplantation in a Newly Established, High-Volume Lung Transplantation Center in China
*Purpose: The number of patients with end-stage lung disease is huge in China, lung transplantation is the only effective method. By presenting the perioperative results…2020 American Transplant Congress
Ex Vivo Pumping Through an OPO’s Eyes
*Purpose: A single, large organ procurement organization (OPO) sought to document the use of extra-renal ex vivo pumping in the management of the deceased donor…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Frequency of Tissue-Resident Donor T and NK Cells in Peripheral Blood after Lung Transplantation is Modulated by Normothermic Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion
*Purpose: The appearance of passenger donor lymphocytes in recipient blood after double lung transplantation has been described decades ago. However, neither their early kinetics, nor…2019 American Transplant Congress
Total Parenteral Nutrition in Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion: Addressing Metabolism Improves Both Inflammation and Overall Graft Performance
Department of Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Contemporary clinical ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) protocols generally limit metabolic supplementation to insulin and glucose. Furthermore, conventional perfusates are void of many ingredients…2019 American Transplant Congress
Flow Cytometric Analysis of Leukocyte Migration during Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion with CXCR4 Inhibition
1General Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC, 2Thoracic Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has emerged as a preservation technique utilized to evaluate candidate donor lungs in a metabolically active state. This also…
