Abstract
In donation after cardiac death lungs, perfusate ET-1 and Big ET-1 are potential predictors of lung function during EVLP and after lung transplantation. They were also associated with non-use of lungs after EVLP and thus could represent useful biomarkers to improve the accuracy of donor lungs selection.
