AB The  blood  supplying  the  lungs  consists  predominantly  of  deoxygenated  blood  from  the  pulmonary  arterial  tree  and  the  much  smaller  systemic  arterial  bronchial  arteries.1  Although  the  bronchial  arteries  are  known  to  bring  oxygenated  and  nutritious  blood  supply  to  the  bronchial  tree,  this  blood  supply  is  sacrificed  during  lung  transplantation  and  leads  to  airway  ischemia,  which  has  historically  been  one  of  the  Achilles  heels  of  lung  transplantation.
