Single-Lung Transplantation in the Setting of Aborted Bilateral Lung Transplantation
Background. The outcome of patients undergoing a single-lung transplant in the setting of an aborted bilateral lung transplant is unclear. Methods. A retrospective review of single lung transplants at an institutional program. Results. Of the 543 lung transplants performed over the last 10 years, 31 (5.7%) were single-lung transplants. Nineteen of 31 (61%) were planned single-lung transplants, ...
متن کاملSystemic sclerosis and bilateral lung transplantation: a single centre experience.
Lung involvement is the leading cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc), but lung transplantation (LT) for systemic disease remains controversial. Our objective was to comprehensively evaluate post-LT outcomes for SSc compared to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We retrospectively evaluated bilateral LT recipients (LTRs) with SSc or IPF at our centre between January 1, 2003 and December ...
متن کاملBilateral 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 کاملLung Cancer Lymphatic Drainage and Bilateral Lung Transplantation
A 25-year-old female patient with cystic fibrosis underwent bilateral lung transplantation. A solitary lung nodule was discovered in the left upper lobe two years following transplantation. After thorough work-up and a biopsy proving the nodule to be an adenocarcinoma, a left upper lobectomy including complete mediastinal lymphadenectomy was performed. The analysis demonstrated adenocarcinoma w...
متن کاملRespiratory mechanics after heart-lung and bilateral lung transplantation.
BACKGROUND The factors determining respiratory mechanics following heart-lung transplantation (HLT) and bilateral lung transplantation (BLT) are incompletely understood. METHODS The dynamic and static lung volumes of 15 patients after HLT (n = 6) and BLT (n = 9) with no evidence of obliterative bronchiolitis were analysed to assess the factors which determine lung volumes following transplant...
