HIGHLIGHTS
SUMMARY
French legislation requests that lung grafts harvested from cardiac DCD donors should be evaluated by EVLP before transplantation. The authors proved that EVLP lungs are a source of eCO production, and that eCO concentrations are higher in lungs exposed to severe ischemia-reperfusion injury. The aim of this monocentric prospective study was to test, for the first time, eCO measurement by ProCeas in an EVLP with human lungs during a real transplantation procedure in patients. The authors aimed to see if eCO might be an early biomarker to decide if an EVLP lung could . . .
