Upregulation of IRF9 Contributes to Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation During Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Abnormal proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is a critical pathological feature in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but the regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown.

Perioperative donor bone marrow infusion augments chimerism in heart and lung transplant recipients [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Background.: We and others have demonstrated that a low level of donor cell chimerism was present for years after transplantation in tissues and peripheral blood of heart and lung recipients; it was associated, in the latter, with a lower incidence of ...

Reversibility of lymphomas and lymphoproliferative lesions developing under cyclosporin-steroid therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
Post-transplant lymphomas or other lymphoproliferative lesions, which were usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus infections, developed in 8, 4, 3, and 2 recipients, respectively, of cadaveric kidney, liver, heart, and heart-lung homografts ...

Heart or heart-lung transplantation for patients with congenital heart disease in England

open access: yesHeart, 2019
Background Increased longevity in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with late complications, mainly heart failure, which may not be amenable to redo surgery and become refractory to medical therapy and so, trigger referral for ...

Heart-Lung Transplantation

open access: yesChest, 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 ...

Donor lymphocyte count and thymic activity predict lymphocyte recovery and outcomes after matched-sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplant

open access: yesHaematologica, 2013
Delayed immune recovery is a characteristic feature of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adult recipients. Although recipient thymic T-cell neogenesis contributes to T-cell regeneration after transplantation, thymic recovery in the ...

Severe Emphysema Treated with Bilateral Lung Sealant: A Case Series with Long-Term Follow-Up

open access: yesBiomedicine Hub, 2023
Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) for emphysematous hyperinflation has evolved during the last two decades as an alternative to lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) with lower morbidity and mortality.

Infections in Heart, Lung, and Heart-Lung Transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Outcome after heart–lung or lung transplantation in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome

open access: yesHeart, 2019
Objective The optimal timing for transplantation is unclear in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome (ES). We investigated post-transplantation survival and transplantation-specific morbidity after heart–lung transplantation (HLTx) or lung transplantation ...
