Report of the ISHLT Working Group on Primary Lung Graft Dysfunction part III: donor-related risk factors and markers
M De Perrot, RS Bonser, J Dark, RF Kelly… - The Journal of heart …, 2005 - jhltonline.org
Primary graft dysfunction is the end result of a series of donor lung injuries before and after
the declaration of brain death and during the transplant process, as well as in the recipient
after reperfusion. 1 Donor factors play an important role in the development of primary graft
dysfunction after lung transplantation, but few clinical studies have analyzed their impact.
Results have been hindered by variations in donor selection criteria and by use of different
definitions of primary graft dysfunction between centers. The impact of donor factors …
