Interventions
Lungs from patients undergoing lung transplantation after their removal from the recipient patient with previous informed consent signed before transplantation will be obtained. The organs will be placed in an acrylic box and will be kept at a temperature of 37 Celsius degrees. The lungs will be mechanically ventilated connected by an endotracheal tube size 8 inserted in the bronchus with the balloon inflated and a silk suture providing a hermetic closure proximal to the balloon. Tissue samples will be taken from the models and images will be performed.
