Living-donor lobar lung transplantation for lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
Living-donor lobar lung transplantation seems to be best suited for children and small adults because only two lobes are transplanted. However, the amount of tolerable size discrepancy between donors and recipients is currently unknown. We report two cases of lymphangioleiomyomatosis with hyperinflation successfully treated with living-donor lobar lung transplantation in spite of large size dis...
متن کاملCurrent status and potential of living-donor lobar lung transplantation.
Although cadaveric lung transplantation (CLT) offers acceptable prospects for 5-year survival, chronic rejection and donor shortages remain major problems. In an effort to address the donor shortage issue, living-donor lobar lung transplantations (LDLLT) have been performed in some institutions. As of 2006, LDLLT has been performed in approximately 300 patients worldwide. The survival appears t...
متن کاملRecurrent lung cancer in the mediastinum noticed after a living-donor lobar lung transplantation.
We describe a case of lung cancer in a living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) recipient that was identified because of a recurrence in the mediastinum. The patient was a 55-year-old woman who had undergone bilateral LDLLT for nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. She developed dyspnea upon exertion at 15 months after transplantation and was diagnosed as suffering from chronic rejection. ...
متن کاملUnilateral chronic lung allograft dysfunction is a characteristic of bilateral living-donor lobar lung transplantation.
OBJECTIVES Living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) has been established as a life-saving procedure for critically ill patients who cannot wait for cadaveric lung transplantation. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the main cause of late morbidity and mortality in lung transplantation. Studies on CLAD in cadaveric lung transplantation have been extensively reported, but few rep...
متن کاملLiving-donor lobar lung transplantation for pulmonary arterial hypertension after failure of epoprostenol therapy.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) for critically ill patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who failed in epoprostenol treatment. BACKGROUND Although continuous epoprostenol infusion has markedly improved survival in patients with PAH, some patients do not benefit from this therapy. METHODS ...
