Highlights
  • The brain-dead recipient context provides a controlled setting to evaluate pig-to-human lung graft viability and immunological responses before broader clinical trials.
  • No hyperacute rejection or infection was observed during the 9-day monitoring period, suggesting a stable short-term graft performance in this context.
  • The donor pig was a 22-month-old, 70-kilogram Chinese Bama Xiang, selected for traits aimed at improving transplant compatibility.
