Abstract
Perfusion decellularization of cadaveric lungs yields intact scaffolds that can be seeded with cells to generate bioartificial lung grafts. After orthotopic transplantation, grafts are perfused by the recipient's circulation, ventilated through the recipient's airway and provide gas exchange in vivo for 7 days.
