OBJECTIVE
In selected patients with severe end-stage combined cardiopulmonary diseases, heart-lung transplantation (HLTx) remains the only therapeutical option for improving survival and quality of life.
METHODS
Since 1983, 51 HLTx were done at our institution. Mean patient age was 27+/-12 years
BACKGROUND
Despite improvement of lung preservation by the introduction of low-potassium dextran (LPD) solution, ischemia-reperfusion injury remains a major contributor to early post-lung transplant graft dysfunction and mortality. After favorable experimental data, Celsior solution was used in our
OBJECTIVE
Experimental and clinical studies have indicated a beneficial effect of retrograde lung preservation on post-transplant results. Accordingly, we conducted a non-randomized trial.
METHODS
A total of 209 consecutive recipients transplanted with low-potassium dextrane (LPD)-preserved lungs
BACKGROUND
The use of a low-potassium-based preservation solution improves gas exchange in experimental models of lung transplantation. However, its efficacy in reducing the incidence of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and improving patient outcomes in the clinical setting is
