Comparison Between Two Medical Devices for the Reconditioning of Lungs Intended for Transplantation

Marginal organs, which do not have ideal transplant characteristics but are not rejected, can be treated with ex-vivo reperfusion and reventilation machines to optimize their condition. The two main devices studied are: Organ Care System (OCS) Transmedics, a mobile machine for use at the donor site. XPS XVIVO, a static machine used for organs transported with cold preservation. The study's primary objective is to assess the acceptance rate of organs treated with these devices, while secondary objectives include comparing the duration of mechanical ventilation, ECMO use, and 90-day survival rates in transplanted patients.
