Human donor lungs that do not meet the standard clinical criteria for donor lung utilization but fit into the study inclusion criteria will be retrieved from the donor using current donor lung retrieval techniques.
These lungs will be brought to the study transplant center to be re-assessed by the transplant team. The lungs will be physiologically assessed during ex vivo perfusion with Steen Solution. Perfusion of these lungs will be performed using Steen solution with the addition of methylprednisolone, heparin and antibiotics. With respect to the decision of lung utilization those organs with a delta pO2 (Δ pO2 = Pulmonary vein pO2 - pulmonary artery pO2) during ex vivo perfusion assessment \> 350mmHg, good lung compliance, and a favorable opinion of the transplant surgeon will be considered transplantable. Lungs will be excluded for transplantation: if the Δ pO2 is less than 350mmHg or if they demonstrate \>10% deterioration in any of the following functional parameters: pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), dynamic compliance or airway pressures. Lungs will also be excluded if they are deemed unsuitable based on the clinical judgment of the lung transplant surgeon.

The XPS™ System is an integrated cardiac bypass system comprised of various components such as a Maquet CardioHelp centrifugal pump (K102726), the HicoVariotherm Heater/Cooler, the Hamilton C2 ICU (intensive care unit) pressure- controlled ventilator (K092148), the perfusate gas monitors, and the display monitors. The XPS™ System is responsible for housing the organ for preservation, providing the normothermic environment, and perfusing the organ with the STEEN Solution™. Donor lungs that meet inclusion criteria are placed on the XPS™ and rewarmed and perfused with STEEN Solution™ and ventilated for 3-6 hours. If the lungs meet transplant suitability, they are cooled down and transplanted into a consented recipient that meet's trial criteria.

PAS Study Primary Endpoint
The primary end point is a co-primary endpoint comparing survival rates and rates of grade 3 PGD at 72 hours with success if and only if both endpoints are met. Treatment Group (T) = EVLP transplant subjects Control Group (C) = standard transplant subjects Co-Primary Endpoints: Endpoint #1: Survival of T is non-inferior to C Ho: C - T ≥ M1 (T is inferior to the control by M1 or more) Ha: C - T \< M1 (T is inferior to the control by less than M1) where M1 = 0.12 Endpoint #2: Rate of grade 3 PGD at 72 hours for T is non-inferior to the rate for C Ho: C - T ≥ M2 Ha: C - T \< M2 where M2 = 0.12
Time frame: 3 Years
PMA Study Primary Endpoint
The primary end point is non-inferiority of the 3-year survival rate of the EVLP group as compared to 3-year survival rate of the control group. Ho: C - T ≥ M3 (T is inferior to the control by M3 or more) Ha: C - T \< M3 (T is inferior to the control by less than M3) where M3 = 0.12
Time frame: 72hrs and Survival
PMA Secondary Endpoints
Primary Lung Graft Dysfunction (PGD) is an indicator for significant morbidity The PMA secondary endpoints are as follows: * FEV1 at 3 mos, 6 mos, 9 mos, and 1 yr * PGD score at 24 and 48 hrs * ICU LOS * Hospital LOS * Use of ECMO due to lung function post transplant * Duration of mechanical ventilation post transplant * Quality of Life and functional status at one year
Time frame: 3 Years
PAS Secondary Endpoint:
Quality of Life measured by functional status, physical capability, and employment limitations. * Episodes of rejection per UNOS registry * FEV1 at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years
Time frame: 5 Years
