AbstractUse of prone positioning during ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) with the Toronto protocol reduced pulmonary edema in marginal human donor lungs.

One of the 2 cases resulted in successful double-lung transplantation.Copyright © 2020 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
