This success reflects close collaboration across Sweden and Denmark and the dedicated efforts of multidisciplinary teams, with key contributions from Hasse Sorensen, Michael Perch and Sandra Lindstedt. The achievement underscores the impact of centralized evaluation and optimized workflows in expanding access to life-saving lung transplantation.
