Restrictive Allograft Syndrome After COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Case Report. [PDF]
Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) continues to be the leading cause of death in the long term after lung transplantation (LTx). CLAD has the following two main subtypes: bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS).

Pirfenidone: A Potential New Therapy for Restrictive Allograft Syndrome? [PDF]
This case report describes the evolution of pulmonary function findings (FVC, FEV1 and TLC) and CT features with pirfenidone treatment for restrictive allograft syndrome following lung transplantation. Furthermore, we herein report hypermetabolic activity on (18) F-FDG PET imaging in this setting, which could indicate active fibroproliferation and ...

Purpose of review New chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) consensus documents were published in 2019, defining four phenotypes; bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, restrictive allograft syndrome, mixed and undefined. Clearly, validation of these guidelines in a real life cohort is critical.

Progression pattern of restrictive allograft syndrome after lung transplantation [PDF]
Restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS) is a novel form of chronic lung allograft dysfunction after lung transplantation. RAS is characterized by restrictive physiology and peripheral lung fibrosis. The purpose of the study is to analyze progression patterns of RAS.Clinical information, pulmonary function test results and radiographic findings were ...

Neutrophilic Reversible Allograft Dysfunction (NRAD) and Restrictive Allograft Syndrome (RAS) [PDF]
Lung transplantation is currently considered as an ultimate live-saving treatment for selected patients suffering from end-stage pulmonary disease. Long-term survival, however, is hampered by chronic rejection, or chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD).

Chronic lung allograft dysfunction in lung transplant recipients (LTxRs) has 2 phenotypes: obstructive bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS). Our goal was to define distinct immunologic markers of exosomes from LTxRs with BOS or RAS.Plasma was collected from LTxRs with BOS (n = 18), RAS (n = 13), and from ...

The accuracy of forced vital capacity for diagnosing restrictive allograft syndrome and mixed phenotype of chronic lung allograft dysfunction [PDF]
Lung transplantation has become an invaluable approach for the treatment of end-stage respiratory diseases. However, survival after lung transplant remains limited due to chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), a fibrotic process affecting the airway and/or parenchymal compartments of the lung graft leading to a significant and persistent ...

Restrictive allograft syndrome post lung transplantation is characterized by pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis [PDF]
We previously described restrictive allograft syndrome as a form of chronic lung allograft dysfunction, demonstrating restrictive pulmonary function decline. However, the histopathological correlates of restrictive allograft syndrome have yet to be satisfactorily described.

Pirfenidone in restrictive allograft syndrome after lung transplantation: A case series [PDF]
Pirfenidone may attenuate the decline of pulmonary function in restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS) after lung transplantation. We retrospectively assessed all lung transplant recipients with RAS who were treated with pirfenidone for at least 3 months (n = 11) in our lung transplant center and report on their long-term outcomes following initiation of ...
