Northwestern Medicine is marking a significant achievement with the successful completion of a record number of lung transplants, thanks in large part to innovative technology referred to as “lungs in a box.” This advanced preservation system allows lungs to be maintained in a near-physiological state outside of the human body, enhancing their viability for transplantation.
Traditionally, the limited time frame for which donor lungs can be preserved has posed challenges in matching organs with recipients. However, the introduction of this cutting-edge technology has extended the usable time for lungs, enabling medical teams to transport and assess organs more effectively.
As a result, more patients in need of lung transplants are receiving this life-saving procedure. The success of these transplants not only underscores the potential of medical advancements but also highlights the commitment of healthcare professionals to improving patient outcomes. This milestone represents a hopeful future for those suffering from severe lung diseases.
