The scarcity of donor lungs for transplantation has been caused, in part, by the belief that a single donor cannot provide usable lungs if it serves as a heart donor. However, the appropriate division of the left atrial wall provides sufficient cuffs for individual transplantation of the heart and each lung into three separate recipients. With the described technique, the results of the present studies demonstrate the feasibility of donor lung procurement and preservation for transplantation after cardiac donation. Use of this method will allow the most effective and efficient use of the limited supply of donor organs and thereby permit therapeutic single lung transplantation in selected patients. Cardiac donation should no longer preclude lung donation as it has in the past.
供体肺用于移植的稀缺，部分原因是人们认为，如果一个供体作为心脏供体，就无法提供可用的肺。然而，对左心房壁进行适当分割可提供足够的袖带，以便将心脏和每个肺分别移植到三个不同的受体中。采用所述技术，本研究结果证明了心脏捐献后供体肺获取和保存用于移植的可行性。使用这种方法将最有效地利用有限的供体器官供应，从而使选定患者能够接受治疗性单肺移植。心脏捐献不应再像过去那样排除肺捐献。
