Cellular and acellular ex vivo lung perfusion preserve functional lung ultrastructure in a large animal model: a stereological study

Cellular and acellular ex vivo lung perfusion preserve functional lung ultrastructure in a large animal model: a stereological study

Abstract Background Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is used by an increasing number of transplant centres. It is still controversial whether an acellular or cellular (erythrocyte enriched) perfusate is preferable. The aim of this paper was to evaluate whether acellular (aEVLP) or cellular EVLP (cEVLP)...
