Prednisolone as preservation additive prevents from ischemia reperfusion injury in a rat model of orthotopic lung transplantation [PDF]
, 2013 The lung is, more than other solid organs, susceptible for ischemia reperfusion injury after orthotopic transplantation. Corticosteroids are known to potently suppress pro-inflammatory processes when given in the post-operative setting or during ...
