Abstract

Lung transplantation, when used as the ultimate treatment for selected patients suffering from any form of benign, end-stage lung disease, is limited by the number of suitable brain-dead donors [1]. Various strategies have been applied to increase the potential lung donor pool, including living lobar transplantation, split lung transplantation, the use of extended criteria donors [2], as well as donors after cardiac death, or so called nonheart-beating donors [3].
