Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of donor lungs from extended criteria after brain death (DBD) within the context of controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) lung transplants.
- It involves a retrospective chart review from a hospital to compare outcomes between standard and extended criteria donor lungs over a six-year period.
- Results indicate that using extended criteria lungs does not negatively impact lung transplant outcomes, including graft dysfunction rates and survival, suggesting a potential increase in available donor organs.
