Left-to-right inverted single-lung transplantation: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Lung transplantation is the most effective treatment for end-stage lung disease. However, the shortage of donor lungs is a major limitation. Inverted lung transplantation has the potential to expand the donor pool and make suitable donor lungs

An observational study of Donor Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion in UK lung transplantation: DEVELOP-UK [PDF]

Health Technology Assessment, 2016
Background: Many patients awaiting lung transplantation die before a donor organ becomes available. Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) allows initially unusable donor lungs to be assessed and reconditioned for clinical use.

Airway epithelium in lung transplantation: a potential actor for post-transplant complications? [PDF]

European Respiratory Review
Lung transplantation, a critical intervention for end-stage lung diseases, is frequently challenged by post-transplant complications. Indeed, primary graft dysfunction, anastomotic complications, infections and acute and chronic rejections pose ...

MicroRNAs Implicated in Dysregulation of Gene Expression Following Human Lung Transplantation [PDF]

Transl Respir Med. 2013; 1: 12, 2013
Lung transplantation remains the only viable treatment option for the majority of patients with advanced lung diseases. However, 5-year post-transplant survival rates remain low primarily secondary to chronic rejection. Novel insights from global gene expression profiles may provide molecular phenotypes and therapeutic targets to improve outcomes after

First case in Portugal [PDF]

, 2021
A significant dysfunction of another organ is usually considered an absolute contraindication for lung transplantation, unless multiorgan transplantation is indicated and practical, as is the case of combined lung-kidney transplantation.

Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury in Lung Transplantation

Cells, 2021
Lung transplantation has been established worldwide as the last treatment for end-stage respiratory failure. However, ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) inevitably occurs after lung transplantation.

Donor to recipient transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by lung transplantation despite negative donor upper respiratory tract testing

American Journal of Transplantation, 2021
We describe a case of proven transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2 from lung donor to recipient. The donor had no clinical history or findings suggestive of infection with SARS‐CoV‐2 and tested negative by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) on

Lung transplantation [PDF]

Einstein (São Paulo), 2015
ABSTRACT Lung transplantation is a globally accepted treatment for some advanced lung diseases, giving the recipients longer survival and better quality of life. Since the first transplant successfully performed in 1983, more than 40 thousand transplants have been performed worldwide. Of these, about seven hundred were in Brazil.
