Abstract
Ex vivo lung perfusion implies perfusion and ventilation of a donor lung outside of the human body. The 2 most clinically relevant and commercially available devices currently in clinical trials are XVIVO Perfusion System (XPS Perfusion, Goteborg, Sweden) and Organ Care System (Transmedics, Andover, MA). Our review focuses on the needs met by ex vivo lung perfusion, and the clinical literature on both devices.Entities:
