The Hospital Universitario Marques de Valdecilla, Santander, has decided to start an EVLP program and the installation is planned to Q4, 2016. The investment was made thank to a grant from Fundacion Marques de Valdecilla.
Hospital Universitario Reina Sofia, Cordoba and IMIBIC (Maimonides Institute for Biomedical Research of Córdoba) were granted by Fundacion Mutua Madrileña.
“We are delighted and proud that EVLP with LS™ and STEEN Solution™ will be used for evaluating lungs for transplantation in Spain. The two LS™ are the first to be sold by XVIVO Perfusion and Spain is a new country with an EVLP machine. The company sees a continued high interest from American and European clinics to setup machine perfusion to facilitate lung evaluation with the aim of using more of the donated lungs”, says Magnus Nilsson, CEO of XVIVO Perfusion.
