Abstract
Abstract
Lung transplantation is a definitive therapy for the treatment of many
end-stage lung diseases. However, because of donor-related morbidities,
only 15% of donor lungs are suitable for transplantation, which leads to
an increased risk of death for prospective patients waiting for this
lifesaving procedure. A technique reported by Keshavjee’s group
in this issue of
Science Translational Medicine
may
help address this problem, not only by repairing donor lungs before
transplant, but also by possibly preventing lung injury after
transplantation.
