Surgical Clinics of North America, 1998
Although we have not yet obtained the survival results that have been observed in heart and renal transplantation, the survival rate in lung transplantation is improving. Because the lung is the only organ that is continuously exposed to the environment after transplantation, infection continues to be the major cause of early and late morbidity and ...

The Clinical Investigator, 1993
The indications and results of single and double lung transplantation are described on the basis of 66 operations performed by the authors and on the background of the world literature. Lung transplantation is considered a new and promising therapeutic mode for treating patients with end-stage pulmonary failure related to fibrosis, emphysema, infective

The lung microbiome in lung transplantation
The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2021Culture-independent study of the lower respiratory tract after lung transplantation has enabled an understanding of the microbiome - that is, the collection of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and their respective gene complement - in this niche. The lung has unique features as a microbial environment, with balanced entry from the upper respiratory tract,

ProtekDuo as a bridge to lung transplant and heart‐lung transplant
Clinical Transplantation, 2021AbstractRecent advances in technology have led to significantly greater use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplantation with better outcomes. The novel ProtekDuo veno‐venous ECMO (CardiacAssist, Inc.) has gained significance as it facilitates effective decompression of the right heart in patients with acute ...

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2017
Lung transplantation (LTx) has evolved to represent the therapy of choice for many patients with end-stage lung diseases. Appropriate candidate selection for LTx is an important determinant of a positive outcome from transplantation. Posttransplantation survival has steadily improved, but long-term survival continues to be a challenge with a median ...

Lung Cancer and Lung Transplantation
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2018Lung transplantation remains a viable option for patients with endstage pulmonary disease. Despite removing the affected organ and replacing both lungs, the risk of lung malignancies still exists. Regardless of the mode of entry, lung cancer affects the prognosis in these patients and diligence is required.
