This special article focuses on the highlights in cardiothoracic transplantation literature
in the year 2020. Part I encompasses the recent literature on lung transplantation,
including the advances in preoperative assessment and optimization, donor management,
including the use of ex-vivo lung perfusion, recipient management, including those
who have been infected with coronavirus disease 2019, updates on the perioperative
management, including the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and long-term
outcomes.
