Fig 8. Lung morphology after ex vivo lung perfusion.

Fig 8

Lungs from healthy donor rats or rats subjected to 3 hours of brain death (BD) and 1 hour cold storage (CS) were ex vivo perfused for 6 hours (EVLP, experimental group 3 and 4). Histological lung injury was scored after staining for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). (A) Quantification of lung injury scores after EVLP in H&E-stained lung slides. (B-C) Representative H&E-stained slices of healthy donor lungs and lungs from brain-dead donors, after EVLP. ** p<0.01 in healthy donor lungs versus lungs from brain-dead donors subjected to EVLP.
