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 ...

Medical Clinics of North America, 2019
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

Current Problems in Surgery, 1989
The supply of donor organs remains extremely limited, and improved methods of maintaining the lungs of potential donors to allow for transplantation must be developed. Currently the upper limit of donor lung ischemic even with our "best" preservation techniques is approximately 4 to 6 hours. Improved methods for preservation will increase the supply of

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

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1986
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.

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 ...
