This groundbreaking achievement holds significant promise for alleviating the critical shortage of lung transplant donors and has been hailed by international experts as a “milestone” in the field.
Following the surgery， monitoring data for respiration， blood， and imaging indicated that the transplanted lung maintained its ventilatory and gas exchange functions for nine days. During this period， no hyperacute rejection reactions were observed. Concurrently， microbiological monitoring found no signs of active infection.
The research team emphasizes that this study was conducted in strict adherence to relevant national laws， regulations， and ethical guidelines， undergoing rigorous review and oversight by institutional ethics committees.
The recipient was diagnosed with severe traumatic brain injury and declared brain dead after multiple independent evaluations.
Motivated by a desire to advance medical progress， the recipient’s family consented to their participation in the research on a voluntary， unpaid basis. The study was concluded on the ninth day at the request of the family.
