Abstract
Modification of low-potassium dextran solution with the prostacyclin analog iloprost resulted in a significant amelioration of ischemia-reperfusion injury and improved preservation of surfactant function in transplanted lungs. This intriguing approach merits further evaluation with respect to the mechanisms involved and, ultimately, potential introduction into clinical lung transplantation.
