To the Editor We read with great interest the article by Divithotawela et al,¹ which demonstrated the posttransplant long-term outcomes were similar between ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP)–treated lung transplant (LTx) and standard LTx, although the quality of donor lungs was worse with EVLP-treated LTx. To our knowledge, this study is the largest study of EVLP and includes 230 EVLP cases. We congratulate Divithotawela et al¹ for this excellent study.

是否应该通过体内肺灌注治疗所有供体？

致编辑我们非常感兴趣地阅读了Divithotawela等人的文章，¹证明了移植后的长期结果在离体肺灌注（EVLP）处理的肺移植（LTx）和标准LTx之间是相似的，尽管捐助者的质量EVLP处理的LTx使肺部状况恶化。据我们所知，该研究是最大的EVLP研究，包括230例EVLP病例。我们祝贺Divithotawela等¹的出色研究。
