Abstract
Objectives: Historically, donor age for lung transplantation must not exceed 55 years. Today, that has been increased to 65 years, however, older donors are also considered. Obviously, there is no well-defined upper cut off, and there are no convincing absolute contraindications against the transplantation of older donor lungs. Since 05/2010, we accepted 70+ year old donor lungs on a regular basis in our program and here we present outcomes of these transplantations and compare to that of donors < 70 years.
