The feasibility of HLA matching for lung transplantation.

abstract：:Whether extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplantation (BTT) can achieve a similar survival to non-BTT remains controversial. We conducted this meta-analysis to compare the outcomes between ECMO BTT and non-BTT to facilitate better clinical decision-making. Seven databases were searched...
