Brief summary

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the OCS™ Lung to recruit, preserve and assess donor lungs that may not meet current standard donor lung acceptance criteria for transplantation.

Detailed description

The OCS™ Lung is to be used to recruit, preserve and assess donor lungs that may not meet current standard donor lung acceptance criteria from one or more of the following characteristics: * Donor PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300 mmHg; or * Expected ischemic time \> 6 hours; or * Donor after Cardiac Death (DCD donor); or * Donor age ≥55 years old

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

93 donor lungs retrieved. 12 excluded for clinical reasons: 6 had contusions or open lung injury resulting in visible air and perfusate leakage into the bronchoalveolar space, 4 had unstable OCS Lung perfusion variables, and persistently low P/F ratio, 1 had persistent oedema, 1 had persistent purulent secretions. 2 were excluded for logistical reasons: 2 patients did not receive a lung transplant because of logistical reasons: 1 was diagnosed with cancer, 1 because no surgeons were available.

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Participants With Composite Endpoint of Patient Survival at Day-30 Post Transplant and Absence of Primary Graft Dysfunction (PGD) Grade 3 During the First 72 Hours Post Lung Transplant

Primary graft dysfunction is graded on a scale of 0 to 3 according to the 2005 ISHLT PGD grading consensus. Grade 0 is considered the least severe and grade 3 is considered a more severe outcome.
