Abstract Background Declining levels of surfactant protein A SP-A after lung transplantation are suggested to indicate progression of ischemia reperfusion IR injury. We hypothesized that the previously described preservation-dependent improvement of alveolar surfactant integrity after IR was associated with alterations in intraalveolar SP-A levels. Methods .
