Can a pacemaker for the diaphragm save more donor lungs?
NCT ID NCT07505589
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small study tested a device that paces the diaphragm in brain dead organ donors whose lungs were too damaged for transplant. The goal was to see if this approach could improve lung function enough to make the lungs usable. Only 3 people took part, so the results are very early and mainly show that the procedure is possible and safe.
