| Research Abstract |
To encounter the donor shortage in lung transplantation, it is necessary to utilize the injured donor lungs, such as marginal donor lungs. It is essential to assess the quality of the injured donor lungs for using such injured lungs safely. Thus, we performed the study in which we assess the function of the donor lungs preoperatively using an ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) and even treat the injured lungs during EVLP. Firstly, we demonstrated that we could assess the function of the donor lungs accurately using EVLP. Secondly, the group with a drug inhalation showed a better lung function than the group without a drug inhalation, suggesting the possibility of treatment of the injured donor lungs during EVLP.
