Abstract
For ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP), there is often inadequate pulmonary artery for effective EVLP. Creation of a neopulmonary artery conduit with donor aorta alleviates this shortcoming. This technique will become of more importance and need as there are more donation after circulatory death donor (DCD) heart procurements as this is a common source of EVLP. With the time constraints associated with the DCD recovery approach, there is a high likelihood of having a short native pulmonary artery with the lung block necessitating this approach.
