An oversized allograft is associated with improved survival after lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension

Oversizing the allograft is associated with improved survival after BLT for IPAH. In the setting of donor organ shortages and waiting list mortality, it is not practical to intentionally oversize the allograft. However, the pTLC ratio could provide further refinement in the peri-transplant risk assessment.
