Detection of airway ischaemic damage after lung transplantation by using autofluorescence imaging bronchoscopy.
OBJECTIVES Airway complications related to ischaemia are a major cause of morbidity after lung transplantation. Early detection of airway ischaemia and optimal management of the anastomotic site could reduce the risk of airway complications. Autofluorescence imaging (AFI) bronchoscopy has been increasingly recognized as an effective technique for detecting abnormal mucosal thickening. The aim o...
متن کاملAnastomotic Airway Complications after Lung Transplantation
PURPOSE Anastomotic airway complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation (LTx). In this study, the authors identified types and clinical outcomes of airway complications after LTx. MATERIALS AND METHODS All bronchial anastomotic complications were analyzed in a total of 94 LTx cases involving 90 recipients who underwent surgery between July 2006 and May...
متن کاملEarly severe digestive complications after lung transplantation.
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe and to analyze early severe digestive complications (ESDC) after lung transplantation (LT) in our center. METHODS A retrospective study included 351 patients, who underwent LT without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at our center between March 1988 and December 2009. There were 86 double LTs and 265 single LTs. ESDCs were defined as complications (1) occurr...
متن کاملEarly diagnosis of lung cancer using a SAFE-3000 autofluorescence bronchoscopy.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the double modality working of a new autofluorescence videobronchoscope SAFE-3000 for the detection and localization of precancerous and malignant lesions. From April to May 2009, 168 patients underwent SAFE-3000 bronchoscopy using 'Twin Mode' and 'Multiple Image Xposition (MIX)' technologies. The study considers only 97 patients with morphological alteratio...
متن کاملRole of biomarkers in early infectious complications after lung transplantation
BACKGROUND Infections and primary graft dysfunction are devastating complications in the immediate postoperative period following lung transplantation. Nowadays, reliable diagnostic tools are not available. Biomarkers could improve early infection diagnosis. METHODS Multicentre prospective observational study that included all centres authorized to perform lung transplantation in Spain. Lung ...
