This is a prospective, single-arm study to demonstrate the proof-of-concept of semi-elective lung transplantation. We plan to evaluate 15 patients that receive lung(s) delayed for transplantation under our study criteria.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

• Donor lungs meet criteria for transplantation with ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP)
• Recipient is < 18 years old
• Recipient, or their Legally Authorized Representative is unable to sign informed consent for re-transplantation
• Recipient has any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make study participation unsafe or would interfere with the objectives of the study
