Case description

The modified Zeraatian techniques in Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) introduce significant innovations to enhance procedural stability and reduce complications. One key advancement is the secure fixation of the endotracheal tube (ETT) using a dual-layered approach: an inner layer of circumferential sutures provides tight sealing, while an external band reinforces positional stability, minimizing the risk of dislodgement during ventilation or perfusion. Additionally, the technique employs tailored pericardial patches to create robust and hemostatic interfaces at both the left atrium (LA) and pulmonary artery (PA) anastomoses. These biologically compatible patches facilitate safer and more efficient connections to the circulation circuits, reducing leak risk and mechanical stress at the suture lines. Collectively, these modifications by Dr. Zeraatiannejaddavani improve the durability, reproducibility, and safety of EVLP procedures.
