Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion: Making More Lungs Available for Transplant

Loyola Medicine is participating in a clinical trial of a technology called ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) that potentially could increase the supply of organs available for lung transplants. EVLP provides a more informed evaluation of lungs that otherwise would be deemed ineligible for transplant. Bob Falat is Loyola's first transplant patient to receive a lung that was evaluated by EVLP. "Everything feels fine," he said. Loyola's lung transplant program is headed by Daniel Dilling, MD, medical director, and Jeffrey Schwartz, MD, surgical director.
