Objectives: Single lung transplantation is a viable option for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease; despite encouraging results, we observed serious complications arising in the native lung. We retrospectively reviewed 36 single lung transplants to evaluate the incidence of complications arising in the native lung, their treatment and outcome. Methods: Between 1991 and 1997, 35 patients r...
متن کاملLung transplantation after long-term mechanical ventilation : results and 1-year follow-up.
BACKGROUND Long-term mechanical ventilation is considered as a relative or absolute contraindication for lung transplantation by most centers. We report on the results of transplantation in nine patients requiring long-term mechanical ventilation at two lung transplant centers. METHODS The study group (group 1) consisted of nine patients receiving mechanical ventilation who underwent lung tra...
متن کاملSuccessful management of bilateral refractory chylothorax after double lung transplantation for lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease that leads to airways and lymphatic channels obstruction due to abnormal smooth muscle proliferation. It presents with dyspnea, pneumothorax or chylothorax. Lung transplantation (LT) has emerged as a valuable therapeutic option with limited reports. We report a case of LAM that underwent double LT and complicated by refractory bilateral chylothor...
متن کاملSuccessful management of recurrent pneumothorax in cystic fibrosis by localized apical thoracoscopic talc poudrage.
Thoracoscopic talc poudrage of the entire pleural surface constitutes successful treatment of recurrent pneumothorax in cystic fibrosis (CF); however, subsequent lung transplantation is seriously jeopardized due to the development of extensive pleural adhesions. We describe a 27-year-old patient with CF with recurrent right-sided pneumothorax, refractory to chest tube drainage and to chemical (...
متن کاملPolymyositis and dermatomyositis.
Several techniques have been developed to accomplish these objectives. Open thoracotomy allows for the resection or stapling of apical blebs followed by a mechanical pleu-ral abrasion or parietal pleurectomy to create a pleural symphysis and prevent pneumothorax recurrence. Pneumothorax recurrence rates are less than 1%. However, with the significant postoperative morbidity associated with an o...
