Bilateral sequential lung transplantation without sternal division.
OBJECTIVES The 'clamshell incision' is considered the standard approach for bilateral sequential lung transplantation (BSLT); however, a considerable morbidity may be related to this incision. The bilateral anterolateral thoracotomy without sternal division is an alternative approach that may contribute to avoid chest wall complications. METHODS We have employed this approach in a prospective...
متن کاملBilateral sequential lung transplantation for end stage septic lung disease.
BACKGROUND Bilateral sequential lung transplantation (BSLT) has been widely adopted as an alternative to combined heart and lung transplantation for the management of end stage septic lung disease in many transplant centres. METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken of the first 32 consecutive patients with septic lung disease to undergo BSLT at the Freeman Hospital. RESULTS Between Apr...
متن کاملBilateral sequential lung transplantation for pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis.
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is characterized by deposition of calcium phosphate within the alveolar airspaces. There is currently no effective medical therapy and affected individuals may progress to end-stage lung disease requiring transplantation. Two patients with PAM underwent bilateral sequential lung transplantation. This study reviews the clinical manifestations of PAM and di...
متن کاملBilateral lung transplantation via two sequential anterolateral thoracotomies.
OBJECTIVE Bilateral anterior trans-sternal thoracotomy (clam shell incision) is the standard approach used for bilateral sequential lung transplantation (BLTX). The morbidity of this large incision can be considerable. Two separate sequential anterolateral thoractomies represent a less invasive approach. METHODS The value of this approach was investigated in a prospective series of 22 consecu...
متن کاملOutcome of heart-lung and bilateral sequential lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis: a UK national study.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients requiring transplantation for respiratory failure may undergo either heart-lung (HLT) or bilateral sequential lung (BSLT) transplantation. The choice of operation varies between surgeons, centres and countries. The current authors investigated whether operation type influenced outcome in adult CF patients transplanted in the UK between July 1995 and June 2002. Prop...
