Abstract
Conclusions. In contrast to heart transplantation, pulmonary allograft ischemic time up to 9 hours does not appear to have a significant impact on early graft function or survival. The presence of diffuse alveolar damage on biopsy early after transplantation does not correlate with prolonged ischemic time, but is associated with substantially reduced posttransplantation survival.
