Abstract
Pulmonary arterial thrombosis and/or pulmonary infarction are very common in organ donors whose lungs are rejected for transplantation and might contribute to lung dysfunction both in lung donors and lung recipients. Further studies are needed to define the incidence of pulmonary arterial thrombosis in organ donors whose lungs are used for transplantation and to better assess the adverse clinical consequences of donor pulmonary arterial thrombosis in lung recipients.
