Abstract: A system for extracorporeal organ support can include an organ chamber and a cross-circulation circuit. The organ camber can be configured to hold an extracorporeal organ. The cross-circulation circuit be configured to connect the extracorporeal organ and a host organism to maintain the extracorporeal organ by perfusing veno-arterial-venous (V-AV) blood through the extracorporeal organ and the host organism, wherein physiologic stability of the host organism is maintained.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods, and devices relating to normothermic extracorporeal support of an organ, tissue, or bioengineered graft comprising cross-circulation (XC) perfusion for prolonged periods (days to weeks) via an XC perfusion circuit in connection with an extracorporeal host (e.g., animal, patient, organ transplant recipient) are disclosed. The XC perfusion circuit comprises auto-regulation of blood flow based on the trans-organ blood pressure difference between arterial and venous pressure. Recipient support enabled 36 h of normothermic perfusion that maintained healthy lungs with no significant changes in physiologic parameters and allowed for the recovery of injured lungs. Extended support enabled multiscale therapeutic interventions in all extracorporeal lungs. Lungs exceeded transplantation criteria.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-vision based autonomous steerable catheter device and methods of using the same for targeted delivery of a liquid microvolume into the interior of a lung.

Abstract: Disclosed are a biosealant system and method for treatment of a pulmonary air leak comprising applying the biosealant system to the locus of the air leak.

Abstract: The vasculature of a donor lung is perfused with a lung preserving fluid to preserve its structure. At the same time, a decellularization fluid is perfused through the airways, which strips away donor cells. The decellularized region is then seeded with pulmonary cells of the transplant recipient, which regenerate the lung. The pulmonary cells may be derived from stem cells, and the decellularization can be targeted to reduce the quantity of cells required.
