New Northwestern Medicine lung transplant technology dubbed 'Lungs in a Box' is expanding the Chicago medical network's donor pool.
Nicknamed"Lungs in a Box," the device helps doctors to remove, store and treat viable lungs for transplant.Mike Piwowar was the first patient to receive lungs using the device."It finally got to the point, there was more things going wrong than right," Piwowar said."If I did any kind of exertion, I was out of breath. I couldn't breathe."Only one in five donated lungs get transplanted.
"He was struggling to walk, and now he's not struggling as much, and he's doing great in therapy," Mike's wife Debbie Piwowar said.
