Abstract
In standard living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT), the right and left lower lobes are retrieved from 2 healthy donors and are implanted in a single recipient.1 There have been concerns about graft size mismatch, however, resulting from the use of small lobar grafts for LDLLT.2 The purpose of this study was therefore to compare the posttransplant pulmonary function and exercise capacity between LDLLT recipients and conventional cadaveric lung transplant (CLT) recipients with full-size grafts.
