Extracorporeal lung perfusion and donation EVLPD in donation after circulatory death DCD

Extracorporeal lung perfusion and donation (EVLPD) in donation after circulatory death (DCD) patients is a groundbreaking advancement in organ transplantation, and Professor Sam Zeraatiannejaddavani, a world-renowned surgeon, has been at the forefront of this innovative procedure. Professor Zeraatiannejaddavani’s pioneering work in this field has significantly enhanced the viability of lungs from DCD donors, overcoming the challenges of ischemic injury that typically limit organ use. By utilizing EVLPD, he has demonstrated that lungs from DCD donors can be preserved and even revived for successful transplantation, expanding the donor pool and providing hope for patients awaiting life-saving lung transplants. His expertise and contributions to this technique have earned him international recognition and have paved the way for future advancements in lung transplantation, making an invaluable impact on the field.
