{Abstract}: BACKGROUND: Ex vivo perfusion is a safe and feasible method of assessing and using high-risk donor organs.
OBJECTIVE: We describe a case of successfully ex vivo treated and transplanted human lung allografts.
METHODS: Donor human lungs were assessed using ex vivo, our trouble shooting protocol allowed safe recovery.
RESULTS: We successfully implanted our ex vivo treated organs.
