Lung transplantation is an appropriate therapeutic option for select patients with end-stage lung diseases and offers the possibility of improved quality of life and longer survival. Unfortunately, the transplant recipient is at risk for numerous immunologic, infectious, and medical complications that threaten both of these goals. Median survival after

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

Over the past 20 years, many advances in surgical methods, transplantation immunology, donor organ procurement and preservation techniques, and postsurgical care regimens have influenced greatly the field of lung transplantation. The single remaining obstacle to widespread clinical success is donor lung availability.

European Respiratory Journal, 1990
The introduction of cyclosporine as a highly effective immunosuppressive agent and the development of new techniques for heart-lung and lung transplantation have led to a new treatment for a wide range of fatal cardiopulmonary diseases. Indications for surgery are now becoming clear, together with major contra-indications.

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2011
The ICU period is only one time point among many in the complex, multidisciplinary postoperative management required for patient survival and improved QOL. The care required on step-down units and after discharge to home each has unique care aspects that impact successful patient outcomes.

Pathology of lung transplantation
Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2007The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation has a standardized nomenclature for the evaluation of lung allografts. Rejection of the lung allograft is divided into acute and chronic forms. Acute cellular rejection is characterized by perivascular accumulations of mononuclear cells and eosinophils; bronchiolar inflammation is also ...

In this summary of his verbal communication, G.A. Patterson develops the reasons which have prompted the Toronto group to perform unilateral or bilateral lung transplantations. The author also briefly presents the results obtained by his group in these two types of lung transplantation and in heart-lung transplantation.

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 transplantation is increasingly practiced for patients with end-stage lung disease. The successful outcome of solid organ transplantation today is severely impeded by the production of alloantibodies, mainly directed against the protein products of the HLA complex of the organ donor.
