Incidence and severity of primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation using rejected grafts reconditioned with ex vivo lung perfusion.
OBJECTIVES Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a novel technique used to evaluate and recondition marginal or rejected grafts. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a major early complication after lung transplantation (LTx). The use of marginal or initially rejected grafts may increase its incidence and severity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of PGD after LTx using rejected graf...
متن کاملAntagonizing reactive oxygen species during ex vivo lung perfusion.
TO THE EDITOR: The stop of flow (ischemia) would be interpreted as membrane depolarization, through the inhibition of KATP channels, leading to activation of NADPH oxidase, leading to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (1). The resultant ROS are claimed to be an effective mediator for ischemic preconditioning (IPC), as proved by the observation that the presence of antioxidants ...

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 کاملPrimary Graft Dysfunction After Lung Transplantation.
Primary graft dysfunction is a form of acute injury after lung transplantation that is associated with significant short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Multiple mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis of primary graft dysfunction, including ischemia reperfusion injury, epithelial cell death, endothelial cell dysfunction, innate immune activation, oxidative stress, and release of infl...
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 ...
