Lobar graft evaluation in cadaveric lobar lung redo transplantation after living-donor lobar lung transplantation: a case report
This case highlights the clinical impact of cadaveric lobar lung transplantation as a feasible and effective strategy to overcome the shortage of donor lungs, especially in patients with small thoracic cavities. By establishing donor lung evaluation techniques and overcoming anatomical and logistical challenges, cadaveric lobar lung transplantation can significantly expand the donor pool and offer hope to those previously considered ineligible for transplantation.
