The original version of this article was revised in textbody and References section as enumerated below:
1. In lines 241–244, the following texts have been removed: “The authors emphasize the importance of simultaneous reperfusion of the lungs, which they believe outweighs the cost of prolonged ischemic time for the first implanted lung.”
2. In lines 329–332, the following texts have been removed: “However, one must consider the risks of a shorter bronchus and the limited salvage options available if airway complications develop, the worst-case scenario being the need for a retransplantation.”
3. In references 3, 4, 5, and 7, the following texts have been inserted:
[3] This is a large singe center study showing no significant differences in survival between BTT and matched non-BTT patients.
[4] This study, examining 20 years of BTT, found significant improvements in survival over time attributable to increased experience, standardisation of protocols and technical improvements.
[5] This study found that a bridging time of less than 30 days was crucial for success in survival.
[7] This large single center study found significantly shorter survival in patients undergoing bridging to retransplant compared to bridged first time recipients.
The original article has been corrected.
