Living-donor lobar lung transplantation for lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
Living-donor lobar lung transplantation seems to be best suited for children and small adults because only two lobes are transplanted. However, the amount of tolerable size discrepancy between donors and recipients is currently unknown. We report two cases of lymphangioleiomyomatosis with hyperinflation successfully treated with living-donor lobar lung transplantation in spite of large size dis...
متن کاملUnilateral chronic lung allograft dysfunction is a characteristic of bilateral living-donor lobar lung transplantation.

Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the main cause of late morbidity and mortality in lung transplantation. Studies on CLAD in cadaveric lung transplantation have been extensively reported, but few rep...

The introduction of ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) in the practice of lung transplantation has allowed the reconditioning of the marginal grafts and their conversion into transplantable grafts. In addition, EVLP can provide a platform for the application of various preventive measures to decrease the incidence of post-transplant complications. While the Toronto team targets the attenuation of th...
متن کاملContralateral pulmonary artery banding after single lobar lung transplantation.
A 14-year-old female patient underwent right single living-donor lobar lung transplantation for bronchiolitis obliterans after bone marrow transplantation. The patient experienced a complication with severe hypoxemia requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which appeared to result from significant ventilation-perfusion mismatch caused by preferential ventilation of the transpl...
متن کاملLobar lung transplantation as a treatment for congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
The mortality rate for infants severely affected with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains high despite significant advances in surgical and neonatal intensive care including delayed repair and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Because of the increasingly successful experience with single-lung transplantation in adults; this approach has been suggested as a potential treatmen...
