Investigative Radiology, 1989 Since the successful clinical reintroduction of heart and lung transplantation in 1981, more than 350 of these procedures have been performed worldwide. Although survival following this operation is less than that reported for heart transplantation, the results are improving. It is clear that the increased technical difficulty of the procedure combined

Heart-lung transplantation. [PDF]
J Thorac Dis, 2014 Heart-lung transplantation itself is not a particularly difficult operation technically. It is the setting in which this procedure is performed which is difficult. The three issues of importance in a successful outcome are appropriate harvest of the heart-lung bloc from the donor, careful explant of the heart and lungs of the recipient, and finally the

A Transformer-Based Deep Learning Approach for Fairly Predicting Post-Liver Transplant Risk Factors [PDF]
J Biomed Inform. 2024 Jan;149:104545, 2023 Liver transplantation is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage liver disease. There are two main challenges in liver transplant: finding the best matching patient for a donor and ensuring transplant equity among different subpopulations. The current MELD scoring system evaluates a patient's mortality risk if not receiving an organ within ...

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1990 The results of combined heart-lung transplantation have continued to improve following its reintroduction into clinical practice in 1981. En-bloc implantation has an apparent protective effect on subsequent tracheal anastomotic healing. Continuing developments in immunosuppression, rejection surveillance, and organ preservation will allow the procedure

Chest, 1988 The survival rate (average, 50%) of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary transplantation falls well below that expected for cardiac transplantation alone. We give a broad overview of the various grounds upon which this difference is likely based and discuss recent advances in each area: 1) criteria for the selection of candidates and donors, 2) methods ...

Decision Support System for Renal Transplantation [PDF]
In: Proceedings of the 2018 IISE Annual Conference: 2018; Orlando:
IISE; 2018: 431-436, 2018 The burgeoning need for kidney transplantation mandates immediate attention. Mismatch of deceased donor-recipient kidney leads to post-transplant death. To ensure ideal kidney donor-recipient match and minimize post-transplant deaths, the paper develops a prediction model that identifies factors that determine the probability of success of renal ...

Infections in Heart, Lung, and Heart-Lung Transplantation [PDF]
, 2019 Half a century has passed since the first orthotopic heart transplant took place. Surgical innovations allowed for heart, lung, and heart-lung transplantation to save lives of patients with incurable chronic cardiopulmonary conditions. The complexity of the surgical interventions, chronic host health conditions, and antirejection immunosuppressive ...

978-1-925953-30-5. Volume 10, Number 16, 2020 Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for end-stage renal failure patients. The predominant method used for kidney quality assessment is the Cox regression-based, kidney donor risk index. A machine learning method may provide improved prediction of transplant outcomes and help decision-making. A popular tree-based machine learning method, random

Evaluation of transplant benefits with the U.S. Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients by semiparametric regression of mean residual life [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Kidney transplantation is the most effective renal replacement therapy for end stage renal disease patients. With the severe shortage of kidney supplies and for the clinical effectiveness of transplantation, patient's life expectancy post transplantation is used to prioritize patients for transplantation; however, severe comorbidity conditions and old ...
