Next month, a one-hour webinar will bring together leading experts from Europe and the United States to discuss ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP).

Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has emerged as a transformative technique in lung transplantation, offering new possibilities for organ preservation and assessment. Despite its success, transplant centers worldwide face critical decisions in determining which lungs are suitable for EVLP

This webinar brings together leading experts from Europe and the US to discuss two pivotal consensus documents that guide these decisions. This webinar will explore the differences between the European and American approaches on selecting allografts for EVLP and the implications for resource utilization and clinical outcomes.
