Abstract: Brain-dead donor lung transplantation frequently requires reduction in the size of oversized lung grafts for patients with a small chest cavity. We focused on the role of three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) volumetry for recipients on… read more here.

Abstract: Donor brain death (BD) is initiated by an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP), which subsequently damages the donor lung. In this study, we investigated whether the speed of ICP increase affects quality of donor lungs,… read more here.
