Abstract
Ex-vivo lung perfusion demonstrates the ability to improve oxygenation and physiologic lung function in donor lungs unacceptable for transplantation without injury to the lung. We establish here a cytokine expression profile in human lungs undergoing normothermic EVLP. These data can be used in the future to explore novel targeted therapies for ischemia-reperfusion injury.
