Serendipity on surveillance: an unusual transbronchial biopsy finding in a lung transplant recipient [PDF]

Clinical Transplantation and Research
Flexible bronchoscopy is routinely utilized to monitor allograft function after lung transplantation (LT). While transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) is valuable as it permits direct histological assessment of the allograft, unexpected findings are ...

Oesophageal stasis is a risk factor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction and allograft failure in lung transplant recipients

ERJ Open Research, 2023
Background Morbidity and mortality in lung transplant recipients are often triggered by recurrent aspiration events, potentiated by oesophageal and gastric disorders. Previous small studies have shown conflicting associations between oesophageal function

Utility of bile acids in large airway bronchial wash versus bronchoalveolar lavage as biomarkers of microaspiration in lung transplant recipients: a retrospective cohort study

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a key tool in respiratory medicine for sampling the distal airways. BAL bile acids are putative biomarkers of pulmonary microaspiration, which is associated with poor outcomes after lung transplantation ...

Major adverse kidney events predict reduced survival in ventricular assist device supported patients

ESC Heart Failure, 2023
Aims There is limited data describing major adverse kidney events (MAKE) in patients supported with ventricular assist devices (VAD). We aim to describe the association between MAKE and survival, risk factors for MAKE, and renal trajectory in VAD ...

Outcomes Following ATG Therapy for Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction

Transplantation Direct, 2021
Background. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the major factor limiting survival post lung transplantation (LTx) with limited effective therapeutic options.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic iodopovidone pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusions in moderate to high-risk Colombian patients [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2020
Introduction: In developing countries where talc may not be readily available, video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) iodopovidone pleurodesis offers an excellent alternative for the treatment of malignant pleural effusions (MPEs).

Sequential unilateral lung volume reduction for emphysema - Stretching the benefit

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2017
Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction (BLVR) and Surgical Lung Volume Reduction (SLVR) and are two different approaches used to remodel severely emphysematous lungs to improve lung function and quality-of-life. We present a case initially referred for lung

Impact of donor lung colonized bacteria detected by next-generation sequencing on early post-transplant outcomes in lung transplant recipients

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background The effect of donor lung colonized bacteria on the prognosis of lung transplantation is not clear. We used the technique of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect the colonized bacteria from the lower respiratory tract and analyzed whether

Sequential broncho-alveolar lavages reflect distinct pulmonary compartments: clinical and research implications in lung transplantation

Respiratory Research, 2018
Background Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) has proven to be very useful to monitor the lung allograft after transplantation. In addition to allowing detection of infections, multiple BAL analytes have been proposed as potential biomarkers of lung allograft ...
