Table 3.

Cross-clamp to reperfusion times.

	Standard (n = 28)	EVLP (n = 7)	P
Cold ischemia pre-EVLP	–	281 ± 58
Normothermic lung perfusion	–	268 ± 104
Cold ischemia pre-LTx	356 ± 140	345 ± 154	0.84
Warm ischemia	89 ± 15	94 ± 24	0.56
Cross-clamp to reperfusion	446 ± 140	968 ± 180	<0.05

Lungs of the Standard group were procured at the time of donor cross-clamp and used for transplantation after cold storage (cold ischemia pre-LTx). Lungs of the EVLP group were cold-stored at the time of donor cross-clamp (cold ischemia pre-EVLP), underwent normothermic lung perfusion, and, if deemed suitable for transplantation, cooled down once more before transplantation (cold ischemia pre-LTx).

Data in the table refer to the time (min) elapsed within the above-described intervals and refer to the second lung in bilateral transplantations. To compare data, Student's t-test analysis was conducted. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation.

LTx: lung transplantation.
