Abstract: Although lung transplantation has been established as the only valid therapeutic approach for endstage pulmonary disease, several r
elated problems remain to be solved. In addition to the serious problem in donor lung shortage, primary graft dysfunction caused by lung ischemia-reperfusion injury is one of the most common reason of early mortality. Optimal preservation of lung is essential to reduce ischemic organ dysfunction after lung transplantation. The development of a highly reliable lung preservation solution that reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury will improve the functioning of transplanted lungs. The progress of the type, perfusing technique or strategies and modified
methods of lung preservation solution are reviewed in this article.
