## Resource

Lung transplantation is often associated with surgical expertise, but expanding access depends just as much on the systems behind donor identification, evaluation and transport. Daniel Remer, transplant procurement manager at Temple University Hospital , explains why procurement serves as the operational engine of a transplant program and why strong systems are essential to helping more patients reach transplant. Remer also shares how donor evaluation has evolved over the past decade and how technologies such as ex vivo lung perfusion and portable organ preservation systems are allowing transplant teams to safely consider lungs that may once have been declined.
