W/D ratio, CT density measurements and pathology. Wet-to-dry (W/D) weight ratios were similar between VCV and FCV (p = 0.16) (left, upper panel). CT density measurements tended to be higher in VCV compared to FCV (p = 0.05) (middle, upper panel). Pathology composite score (congestion, interstitial thickening, neutrophil influx and alveolar edema, in %) did not differ between both groups (p = 0.16) (right upper panel). Representative macroscopic pictures of grafts after 6 h of EVLP (left, lower panel), representative CT-graphic images (middle, lower panel) and representative histological images (right, lower panel) of VCV and FCV are demonstrated
