The biggest benefit of EVLP is that it helps the lung transplant team to do a in-detailed examination and evaluation of the donor lungs. This helps immensely in increasing their suitability for the transplant. And in turn, it helps the chances of patients who are waiting desperately for the same.

The long term success of the recipient’s body to accept the lungs increases as the donor lungs have undergone exhaustive assessment and testing for their viability via EVLP.
