Abstract

Available donor organs for lung transplantation are scarce. Ex vivo lung perfusion provides a platform to preserve, assess, and recondition donor lungs and can thereby aid in enlarging the donor pool. This video tutorial discusses the indications, preparation, and surgical technique for and the initiation, maintenance and termination of the ex vivo lung perfusion procedure.

Keywords: Ex vivo lung perfusion; Lung transplant; Surgical technique; Training.
