Ex vivo lung perfusion in Brazil
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) clinically to prepare donor lungs for transplantation. METHODS A prospective study involving EVLP for the reconditioning of extended-criteria donor lungs, the criteria for which include aspects such as a PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 300 mmHg. Between February of 2013 and February of 2014, the lungs of five donors were submitted to EVLP for u...
متن کاملTowards a better understanding of ex vivo lung perfusion.
Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is probably the most promising technique currently available to substantially increase the number of acceptable donor lungs and to improve the outcome after lung transplantation. Several ongoing prospective single and multicentre trials are currently investigating the potential and the individual advantages of different platforms available for EVLP. So far, a numbe...
متن کاملComparison of lung preservation solutions in human lungs using an ex vivo lung perfusion experimental model
OBJECTIVE Experimental studies on lung preservation have always been performed using animal models. We present ex vivo lung perfusion as a new model for the study of lung preservation. Using human lungs instead of animal models may bring the results of experimental studies closer to what could be expected in clinical practice. METHOD Brain-dead donors whose lungs had been declined by transpla...
متن کاملEx vivo lung perfusion: initial Brazilian experience* Perfusão pulmonar ex vivo: experiência nacional inicial
In the last 20 years, lung transplantation has become the standard treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, less than 20% of the donor lungs available for transplant are actually usable. This disparity between the growing number of recipients and the small number of donors has resulted in increased mortality among lung transplant candidates on waiting lists. Strategies such ...
متن کاملEx vivo perfusion of the isolated rat small intestine as a novel model of Salmonella enteritis.
Using an ex vivo perfused rat small intestinal model, we examined pathological changes to the tissue, inflammation induction, as well as dynamic changes to smooth muscle activity, metabolic competence, and luminal fluid accumulation during short-term infection with the enteropathogenic bacteria Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Yersinia enterocolitica. Although few effects were seen u...
