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...

We modified a quantitative donor scoring system proposed by Nyberg and his colleagues and developed a donor scoring system in order to assess the quality of deceased donor grafts and their prognostic value as an initial effort to promote usage of marginal donors.

متن کاملMaximizing the utilization of donor organs offered for lung transplantation.
The number of patients awaiting lung transplantation (LT) and waiting time for surgery is increasing. In Australia, LT rates are 4. 6/million population/yr, which despite low organ donation rates, are the highest published in the world. The Australian organ allocation system allows identification of marginal donors and therapeutic manipulation where appropriate. This study aims to assess the im...
متن کاملComparison of Different Scoring Systems Based on Both Donor and Recipient Characteristics for Predicting Outcome after Living Donor Liver Transplantation
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In order to provide a good match between donor and recipient in liver transplantation, four scoring systems [the product of donor age and Model for End-stage Liver Disease score (D-MELD), the score to predict survival outcomes following liver transplantation (SOFT), the balance of risk score (BAR), and the transplant risk index (TRI)] based on both donor and recipient ...
