CEO comment
“The EVLP business in the US was the driving force this quarter, with our US clinical trial for heart also progressing as planned and staying within budget. With strong momentum in our US lung business, we enter the final part of the year with confidence. We are committed to invest in the need for more transplants as we steadily move closer to realizing our vision that nobody should die waiting for a new organ.” - Christoffer Rosenblad, CEO
