Low grade oedema formation was visible in some EM sections in both EVLP groups (a) aEVLP, (b) cEVLP). (c) Stereological estimation of peribronchovascular oedema. Group differences were statistically significant for aEVLP vs. control and ischaemia groups (p = 0.018). (d) Stereological estimation of intraalveolar oedema. Group differences were statistically significant for both EVLP groups compared to control and ischaemia groups and additionally in aEVLP vs. cEVLP (p = 0.002). Data points depict individual animals, bars indicate group medians, Air air filled alveolar lumen, AlvEd intraalveolar oedema, CL capillary lumen, Ep alveolar epithelium, NEn nucleus of endothelial cell, V volume, PbvEd peribronchovascular oedema, contr control group, isch ischaemia group, aEVLP acellular EVLP group, cEVLP cellular EVLP group
