Inhaled sphingosine has no adverse side effects in isolated ventilated and perfused pig lungs

Abstract Ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) systems like XVIVO are more and more common in the setting of lung transplantation, since marginal donor-lungs can easily be subjected to a performance test or be treated with corticosteroids or antibiotics in high dose regimes. Donor lungs are frequently posit...
